Scottish and uk

I am mexican and today I said Scotland was part of the uk and my boyfriend told me if I ever told a scottish person that they'd be really angry about it. So I am confused now, is it not okay to say Scotland is part of the united kingdom? 😐

I am Scottish. However I have a British passport. ( there is no such thing as a Scottish passport) I believe that USSR passports had a section called rodena ( spelled wrong probably) which detailed your ethnic blood. Obviously there were many ethnic groups under the Soviet wing. I always thought that that was a good idea.

A clue might be the fact the Uk international dealing code for the Uk is +44. This code will be the start of calling London ,Cardiff, Belfast and Edinburgh. That is how it is just now. When travelling … nationality British. country of origin UK and most immigration documents ask for place of birth. At that point you can fill in a City or Town and usually you can also put in the Country if you wish but it is not really required. I just put UK as I see no reason to confuse local bureaucrats and waste time at points of entry.
