The issue of nationalism and independence is certainly much debated, and whilst it is nowhere near as sensitive or divisive as in other parts of the world where such movements exist, such as Northern Ireland, it is best not to argue an extreme position on either side. Scotland has been a part of the United Kingdom for just over 300 years, although in recent times it has had some autonomy. Being a proud Scot does not always equate to wanting the UK to break up, nor does it equate to hating England or the English.

It is important not to confuse or assume that Scotland is a part of England as this could cause offence to some. Although a Scottish person is likely to understand what is a simple mistake by a tourist, it could certainly cause annoyance to some Scots. It is considered respectful to refer to Scottish citizens as Scots or Scottish as opposed to British. Most citizens of Scotland generally feel more Scottish than British. Again, it is always good to remember that the vast majority of Scottish people are not at all anti-English, however there are a small minority who may be. If you sense this vibe and you are English, it is best to walk away and avoid an argument or trouble. Although most Scots respect and have strong ties with England, Scotland is a very proud nation and many still feel it important to differentiate themselves as having a separate sense of nationality, especially in areas with strong historical affiliation with the SNP.

Rivalry between various football clubs is a rather more sensitive issue. It's a bad idea to wear the colours and shirts of football clubs on match days as this may cause offence or lead to violence if worn in the wrong place. This is a problem mainly confined to Glasgow's 'Old Firm' (Celtic and Rangers) derby where there are still sectarian tensions (Celtic wear green and white, Glasgow Rangers wear blue and white, however orange is also often associated with them).
