They voted 100% for either the Liberal Democrats, SNP, or Labour in the last election. All left leaning parties. Not a single Tory seat.

Not sure I would place a diverse people into any group such as 'conservative' or 'different mindset'...

But if you want to call all Scots 'cheap'....
Historically though the scots were conservative, much of their vote went to the SNP, ironically, after thatcher essentially killed the Tories in Scotland but prior to her they strongly held what is a mostly rural country.

The SNP really arnt left leaning either, they have tried to be all things to all people to get the referendum passed but their core support is very small c conservative.
