Well you're talking to a Nationalist and do I really confirm these old hoary cliches you cling to? Like nearly all Nationalists in Scotland my Nationalism is based on the simple principle of governing ourselves as a polity. Brexit is a perfect example of English hegemony in the political sphere and how the UK and Westminster is the real land of Nationalistic fairy tales in the unpleasant xenophobic sense. Amd on this notion of ethnic nationalism: 'real Irish' or "real Scots", perhaps you should have been here when the writer William McIlvanney gave his rousing speech for Independence and heard the roar of approval when he described us all as a "...mongrel nation"? Likewise as Jon Snow found out when he was sent up to do a hit piece on Scottish Nationalism, most Asians in Scotland are Scottish Nationalists because they identify with the very same principle of self government for their country. Of course my Nationalism like most peoples in Scotland is entirely provisional: When I have my nation back I will no longer need to be one.
