I see myself as Scottish first and foremost, and am extremely proud of that fact, so if a Japanese person asked my nationality, I would reply with 'Sukottorando-jin desu', but if they looked confused by this, or didn't know about Scotland, I'd have no quarrels in saying I was British, as long as I could explain I'm from the bit above England. I feel todays view generally is Britain is England, so Scotland, Wales and NI exist, but its people that know well of the UK, that know of this. Also, most world maps, or list of countries on a website, will have United Kingdom. Very seldom will Scotland or Wales be put on as separate countries.
Might I also note, the Japanese for Britain and for England, is the same word
