anti english sentiment exists in scotland, no doubt
but it's honestly pretty much marginal in indy politics.
People often (purposefully, i suspect) conflate anti westminster/tory politics with anglophobia and really it just doesn't hold water
to test this theory - jump on an indy related twitter or faceebook thread, declare yourself English and say that you'd like to move to Scotland. 99% of the replies will be positive, welcoming you with open arms etc.

The prime minister is a Scotophobe, and proud of it, made a living writing columns about it. There is anglophobia, Islam a phobia, transphobia all the phobias you want but where is nirvana? In the EDL? Nigel Farage? UKIP , beacons of tolerance all I’m sure. The enemy is not England but the Tories and a despicable class system .

English nationalism and Scottish nationalism are polar opposites to one another.
English nationalism = where you from.
Scottish nationalism = where you at.
This is evidenced by the amount of diversity you’ll see at Indy events. Mosque groups hanging out with Synagogue groups hanging out with queer groups hanging out with Ghudwara groups.
All getting screamed at and spat at by English nationalists - they same types rioting in George square, throwing bottles, defending statues.
Side note - SNP leader never called me a terrorist / bank robber / watermelon smile pickney.
