I agree with you to some extent. But what should be done? Create another Nationalist party and split the already thin Nationalist vote? No, here's a new idea, why not stick with the one group and refine its membership and hone it's agenda with time. Also, they are not plotting a whole new identity, they are simply reviving their own.

(Hel, they've even achieved to sever Scotland of its heavily Germanic-influenced culture and made it purely Celtic, which isn't exactly anywhere near historical fact),

Okay Scotland has never had a heavily Germanic culture. That is just plain false. Scotland has always, and will always be a Celtic Nation. The Germanic influence in Scotland has never been welcomed, and more often than not it is all a direct result of English and protestant oppression of the native Scottish Celtic people. A culture that is forced on someone doesn’t count in all regards. Infact the reason Scottish Nationalists play on their Celtic roots in an act of sheer defiance of hundreds of years of tyranny. Just like Irish nationalists who set up Gaelic schools in direct defiance on England’s attempt slaughter of their language and culture.

So let us bear in mind, the Germanic culture in Scotland was never wanted, when it was being introduced millions of people died or were forced out of their homes and forced to flee their own country, hell as a result there is a bigger Scottish Diaspora in America that ahs a population greater than Scotland its self. Scotland is Celtic, and I guarantee you it will come to the fore once again. You don’t see a Germanic Scotland unless it’s in conjunction with the UK, that will be gone very, very soon.

so I heavily advise to fight one battle at a given time. First the Battle for Europe and Britain - and then, if has to be, the battle for independence of the nations on the British isles.

No. Independance for Scotland is a key factor in their survival. Go fight for Europe, Europe isn't the Scottish peoples concern, Scotland is.

Okay, since you happen to know more about the Scottish history than the very people that weep and bleed for their country, then please show us evidence of this heavily Germanic culture that hasn’t resulted in thousands of deaths or hasn’t involved the English people and has no connection with the UK, then see where you stand with your “heavily Germanic-influenced” culture.

You don’t understand why being Celtic means so much in the Nationalist movement, it is the opposition to a foreign and cruel and oppressive culture that was forced on our people. Don’t ignore history, and learn exactly why Germanic culture entered the picture.
