This question does seem to be an emotional one.
However, the impression I get from relatives living abroad is that most Scots are ambivalent about their emotional loyalty. Given a clear case of wearing a blue shirt or a white one, it's quite clear who they support, but when it comes to politics, finances, and nationality, the waters are far murkier.
I'm slowly - and somewhat to my surprise- being forced to conclude that most Scots are emotionally far more British than they will admit.
