What about a person from Wales or Scotland ? Would they say
I'm British or would they say I'm Walish(correct spelling ?) person or I'm Scottish person ?

Knowing a Welshman, I can say with absolute certainty that as far as he's concerned, he's British and Welsh alike, just never EVER call him English
Same for the Scottish people I met. Scottish and British alike, although the ones supporting the idea of separation would be more likely to say they're Scottish and would frown upon being called British but they wouldn't totally disagree. The ones supporting the union would be more likely to say British but wouldn't mind if you said Scottish.
In my experience, of course.
