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'.

I'd rather spend a sunny day sailing on the west coast or climbing a Munro than doing pretty much anything else on earth. You should visit, it might open your eyes.
Motorbikes are more my thing, Would like to tour Scotland but other options keep coming up in the group I tour with and the season is short so I haven't made it up there yet.
Oh Hai,
