This seems rathercynical, as if you're suggesting Scotland can't actually be a kinder and more welcoming place, and that it's just that the hatred goes in a different direction. In my experience, sectarian hatred in Scotland is quite delimited, in a way that anti-immigrant and racist sentiment is not south of the border. I'd suggest the Scottish government's emphasis on supporting the common good, rather than sowing divisiveness, is a big factor.
