Actually, I didn't know that. I knew you from the UK but not exactly where.
But I don't recall seeing a Scottish person refer to themselves as British. It's like a Hawaiian calling themselves "American." Factually true, but I've never seen one refer to themselves as "American" first and foremost.
Granted, my experiences with both are limited, so I could be dead wrong about that.
In a discussion about nationality and citizenship I felt it important to establish legal citizenship status, over standard terminology.
I would probably describe myself as Scottish, but my nationality is British nevertheless.
Actually, most people work out I'm Scottish from the moment I open my mouth as my accent is quite strong, so I rarely need to elaborate. Typing maks it a mickle mair muddled, y'ken?

Rahne is Scottish, but in terms of nationality, she is British. There is no legally recognised nationality of Scottish for things like passports etc.
