I'm Scottish and British. Without getting too far into the politics of it, Scotland is literally on the island of Great Britain. From a purely geographical standpoint, Scottish people are British.

What other term would you use to describe people from the constituent nations of Great Britain?

63% of residents of Scotland describe themselves as Scottish only - not British.

18% Scottish and British, 8% British only.

Results were similar in 2011 too.

Canadians aren't Americans in a sense of "citizens of USA", but in geographical sense they are. The same applies here.

Using a specific definition of a word to tell people they’re wrong about their own identity usually doesn’t go over very well.

“British” almost always means “identifies with the UK”.

What do they put on a form when asked their nationality? Last time I checked my passport says "British".

I always put Scottish. British would also be acceptable.
