I’m a British citizen, but I’m not British. I’ve never stepped foot in the UK in my whole life, I became a citizen through descent.
And my late grandmother, who was born in Scotland and lived the first half of her life there, I remember once calling her Scottish, and she corrected me “I’m not Scottish, I’m Irish” (both her parents were born in Ireland)
