This was written a year or so before the "vote". I always find it peculiar that those writing about Scots (or Canadians) don't know how we spell "whisky". Even the auto spell on my IPad tried to "correct" it.

I've added hundreds of words to my dictionary just to keep auto out of my writing. Whisky is one. Bushmills is the only whiskey I have. Whisky is another story altogether.

Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

Whether or not a Scot supports independence is irrelevant to their bewildered response to those unaware of the divide between the countries in the UK. No doubt the English, Welsh, and Irish feel very similar.
So true. As a Scot I get annoyed with alphabetical drop down nationality menus on websites which go directly from Samoa to Senegal and omit to list Scotland. I live in Scotland and not "united kingdom". Travelling abroad its something I look out for when checking into hotels. If they've marked my nationality on the check in form as "united kingdom" I will cross it out and write in "Scotland."

I am quite happy to be British and if the conversation gets technical I am then, Scottish. Each to their own.

It is understood that each of us has a regional, national and continental affiliation. Many a "Glasgow Kiss" has been delivered between opposing city and country folks living in the same area. It is better to get the information out to the public before someone gets a knot jerked on one's noggin.

Interesting read - and just as an aside, with minor edits for specifics, you could easily change this into an article about Southerners (as in, residents of the Southern states in the USA).
"Make a tasteless joke about North vs. South history"
"Confront a man wearing an image of a Confederate flag (or a Gadsden flag) on his hat, shirt, or bandana, and ask him why he's a racist"
"Quote Deliverance"
"Ask us to do an impression of Foghorn Leghorn or Jeff Foxworthy"
"Call Coke soda or pop"
"Insult the football team of our Alma Mater"

I am sorry, but I cannot quite understand what you are driving at. Can you expand on the question a tad?

Sure from the article in the part about calling whisky scotch:
The barman takes a short nip glass, holds it up to the light, grins, pours the nectar, and says to the American: “Sit down son. I’m going to tell you a wee story about Scottish whiskey.”
I was wondering what the story was?
