What is my DH citizen if he was born in Scotland but lives in England

[Yankydoodledandy]

question on DS Uni form about father...

Son is asking is DH is a scottish citizen?

He was born Scotland but lives England so Ive said no...
as I assume citizen means lives there now???
Is this correct?

You think? How about looking at it?

There is no such thing as a Scottish citizen, so it sounds unlikely that any official form would ask such a thing.

I imagine it says resident, which is a simple question.

That can’t be the question. There’s no concept of ‘Scottish citizen’ in law. Is it not resident in Scotland?

But it's the student's place of "ordinary residence" that counts for the calculation of fees.

Any parent's place of residence would be irrelevant, surely. The question should be about the student's place of residence.

You don't know that the question is even about fees.

It really does depend on what the University form was for.

PP correct students residency for funding should be what's asked - for mature students that's less likely to correspond to parents address and there may be others who parents address isn't applicable.

Perhaps it's some ethnicity/origin form perhaps the university wants to track how many Scottish student or Scottish diaspora they get.

OP isn't sure of exact question and hasn't said what the form was for.

Plus if it was a university own form wording may be confused or not correct - were as I suspect a funding form goes through a legal department and it's wording given much more emphasis and details thoroughly checked.

We don't know what the context of the question is at all.

However, it's the only part of a university application I can think of where the matter of Scottish anything would arise (apart from qualifications). There being, as many PPs have said, no such thing as Scottish citizenship.

British citizen (assuming he's lived in the UK for the last 3 years). Resident in England. Was the question about nationality, maybe?
