Having grown up in Scotland with a (posh) English accent but from such a young age that all my cultural references and experience are such that I consider myself Scottish, I've always been sensitive to a particular strand of anti-English sentiment that runs through the nationalist mindset.

While polls measuring binary attitudes to independence showed the race now standing at 50/50, Progress Scotland has been busy identifying and understanding those voters who are undecided on the issue.

I am a Scot, born and bred. Fully embracing the European project when I was young having lived and worked in Belgium and later, marrying an Italian. He came to live in the England with me and we then returned to my home city of Edinburgh to start a family.
