Britishness
In a 1998 poll, 37% of Scottish National Party voters stated themselves to be "Scottish, not British", the rest demonstrating some form of British identity, with the most popular choice being "More Scottish than British" (41%).[17] This conclusion was again put forward in 2002, with similar figures cited. [18] However, the British Social Attitudes Survey of 2007 found that only 21% of Scots saw themselves as 'Equally Scottish and British', with less than half choosing British as a secondary identity.[19] The report concluded that 73% of respondents saw themselves as 'only' or 'mainly' Scottish.[19]
