Official Flags of Two Countries:
I'm British. I have existed a large portion of my life in Canada, however in such a variety of ways I remain British. Regardless I shout at the film Battle of Britain, watch each scene of Doctor Who, love Branston pickle, get up at first light to see England win the rugby world measure and wear and its in my nature.
Furthermore part of being British is having Scotland as the neighbor to the north - the neighbor that taunts us as we taunt them, that likes simply beating us at game, somewhat on the grounds that it so occasional happens!
Yet when it matters we remained as one.

The legislative issues and society of Scotland are not the same as those of England however together they structure an entire, generally as – I assume - do fish sticks and french fries. They require one another, finish one another, are one another.
Scotland's significance is not Braveheart and twisted wistfulness however the eighteenth century edification, populated by various scholars, economists, creators and intelligent people who existed after and not before union with England.
