Some do, most don't. Same could be said of any two countries.
There's some historical resentment at the way the English have treated the Scots:- effectively trying to annexe Scotland, the Highland Clearances which were largely orchestrated by English landowners, the sequestration of North Sea oil in the 1970's, the bias of the British media (largely London based and often quite anti-Scottish).
Those that do harbour a grudge tend to do so more against people the further away from Scotland they are. A Goerdie will be openly welcomed, a Brummie generally welcomed but a Cockney may be unwelcomed.
By and large the Scots are very friendly and accommodating, it's just a small minority (as with any country) that aren't.

I don't know but I have notice that it's the Scottish people that live in England. Now to me that's just plain rude!

Is it wise to tell people how they feel about others?

Because people can understand what we're saying and we don't have to wear skirts.
