There are all sorts of reasons for the confusion, including the perception that the British Empire was run by the English, because it was ruled by the King or Queen of England.
Since 1603, the Kings and Queens of Scots(the crown was a Scots takeover). The British Empire was run very much by the Scots (see Tom Devine's books). False perceptions are a major problems.
