What many in Scotland don't understand is that England doesn't have nearly as strong a sense of it's own identity as the other 3 UK nations.

People in South East England generally don't see Scots as any more foreign than folk from Cornwall or Midlands or Yorkshire.
English folk generally think of themselves as belonging to one of 4 broad regions

London/Home Counties
West Country
North
Midlands

Modern day Scot Nats view England as a homogenous mass
Increasingly I am thinking of myself as being from North East Scotland (former Grampian and Tayside regions plus North Fife)

The Central Belt has a quite different culture, as do Borders and Highlands & Islands
