A few people telling you that you’re wrong when you’re correct, a lot of Scots (myself included) do not like to identify as British.

Yes, Scotland is within the island of Britain but many of us (though not all) identify as Scottish, not British.

This seems to come up a lot online and I wonder what percentage of people making the corrections are actually Scottish…

Fairly meaningless. Some do, some don’t. Personal annecdotes are useless as there’s plenty of Scots that identify as British and plenty of Scots that identify as Not British. Hell there’s plenty of people living in Scotland that don’t identify as Scottish.

The census puts is about 2 in 3 as Scottish Only though, not British, which is usable data.

I get the impression the OP is an American. Plenty of people in America believe they are Scottish despite their entire experience of Scotland being a day trip to Edinburgh and some tourist shop selling them a kilt because their great-granddad was born in Aberdeen.
