Who is this couple, why are they moving to Scotland, what if the wife can't have children, can they afford to have a child as well as relocate, what if the husband has a low sperm count....?????
You see people just don't think these things through.

A UK Citizen in either case. If they have lived in Scotland for less than 3 years the child would be English, if more then Scottish. Both, however are technically British (Although the Scots may disagree with me) as UK is short for United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland

Scottish with English Parents

The child would be considered English as, under Scottish law nationality for legal purposes comes from the Father. I know this for fact as my first two sons who were born in England were accepted during a custody battle to be Scottish.

Ask the kid when s/he is fifteen. He/she can choose for him/herself.
Example: Scottish parents, kids born in Scotland, moved south when the kids were in primary school. The formative years made the kids English - as they perceive it. That's what counts.
Note Alex Salmond (Scottish Nationalist leader) said pretty much that the definition of a Scot was whoever chose to be one. So if you make your home in Scotland and participate in its society, you're as much part of the place as a direct descendant of William Wallace.

The child is of the same nationality as it's parents as they are both English. But as we are supposed to all be British Citizens it doesn't really matter.
My husband was born in Northern Rhodesia of British parents and live there for 7 years - he is classed as British, although he came into the country on his mothers passport in the 1950's and has never had his own passport and his tiny flimsy birth certificate which only had his name on it and date of birth - not either of his parents names - disintegrated - you would not believe how difficult it is to get a birth certificate from Zambia as it is now, even through the embassy. So we can't even holiday together abroad as he cant get a passport.

First and foremost the child would be British however to take account of the over egged Nationalism of the constituent parts of the UK:-
The country of birth usually takes precedent, (it does not matter where the deed is done!!) however there are different rules for different purposes. for example in Tennis Greg Ruseski or who ever is Canadian by birth but represents (English?) tennis. I am English but by residency rules I have represented Scotland in sport. According to the current rules in my sport I cannot represent another country now, but in other sports some people can change countries any number of times.
When it comes to non UK country people being born here they can get dual nationality and those rules can be quite complicated.

If born in a hospital in Scotland, then child would be Scottish. An Anglo/Scot.
