I'm also from Edinburgh, and I know what you mean about the family rifts. I disagree about the SNP's prime motive of nationalism. They want independence from Westminster foremost, but that doesn't necessarily mean nationalism. For example, I wouldn't say they were anti-immigration in today's climate.

I think that's probably true. My main issue with the SNP and nationalism is how they've used it to further their cause. Whipping up fervent nationalism is never nice and never ends well IMO.

No but my boyfriend is from Edinburgh. The SNP have basically formed a rift within his family which makes discussion of politics impossible, normal relations difficult and my relationship with the mother-in-law more akin to Les Dawson jokes than it should be.
This is all just my opinion obviously but I can tell you that the religiose thing is very much a thing.
