Scotland is Not a separate country. Fact.Scotland is a nation on it's own right within the UK. Hence why it has an entirely separate legal system, which has given far greater freedom to roam our land than you have in England. Please respect that.
We are living through a Public Health situation, which falls under Scotland's devolved governance. Please respect that up here we diverged from the UK approach because it was not working, and we are on striving toward zero COVID, something your government might wish to try.
This link may provide some insight for anyone that cares to put public health before their own narrow self interest.
So please stop with your exceptionalism. It is not becoming. And on the matters relating to this thread, Scotland is a separate country to England. Scotland's communities are not yours to dictate to.
It has a Devolved Administration with responsibility for certain aspects of Government. It is also, as is Wales and N Ireland heavily dependant on the UK Government finances. Fact.
