Canadians aren't Americans in a sense of "citizens of USA", but in geographical sense they are. The same applies here.

Using a specific definition of a word to tell people they’re wrong about their own identity usually doesn’t go over very well.

“British” almost always means “identifies with the UK”.

What do they put on a form when asked their nationality? Last time I checked my passport says "British".

I always put Scottish. British would also be acceptable.
