Oh Hai,
Yes I did say that based on my limited experience of the Scots I don't like them. I included 'limited experience'. I have had very little personal contact with Scots who live in Scotland, I know a few older Scots who have lived outside the country for years, they don't represent the Scottish to me.
My impression of the Scots shouldn't matter to them, it's similar to Scots not trusting Westminster, the chances are it's mostly based on lack of knowledge. I don't seek out the Scottish to make them feel my hate, I just haven't met any I get on with yet. Perhaps I should get out more but I like sunshine so I tend to go to France/Spain or Italy. Honestly I do have a decent circle of friends and acquaintances of all nationalities and there are no Scots in it beyond those who have been out of Scotland for 40 years or more.
However, getting back to it the few I have spent any time with rub me up the wrong way. There you go, 'limited experience'.
