Aside from the politics and the religious nutjobs, I believe it is a nice country to live in.

Politics yes, religious nutjobs no. Do the Wee Frees define Scotland?

True, but I don't think it's that well known to foreigners as to define our country. There's the stereotype of Glasgow being violent but do most people understand why that was?

Because it was true. I say this as someone who lived and continues to live in quite a violent area. Calmed down over the years of course. Likely due to better education.
