Oooooh.... Hope that doesn't imply that Scots are still deemed tight by the naive few

See the study of just who gives what to charity below

Table 3 illustrates the relationship between residence (classified
here as either region or country of residence) and giving.
Differences in giving partly reflect geographical inequalities in
socio-economic status and demographics between the regions.
• People from the South West and Scotland are the most likely
to give, with over 60% of the population in these areas giving
to charity in an average month.
• Londoners are the least likely to give with only 51% giving in
an average month. In contrast, Londoners give the largest
average donation, with an average gift of £22 a month.
People from Scotland give the next largest amount, with an
average per month of £16.
• At the other end of the scale are the West Midlands and Wales,
with average giving of between £10 and £11 per month.
• In terms of the total amount given by each region (population
of the region multiplied by average gift size), the South East
gives most, followed by London.
• At the bottom of the list is the North East, which because of
its low population gave one fifth the amount given in the
South East, but it is worth bearing in mind the relatively low
average salary in this region compared with other parts of
the UK.
Table 3: UK charitable giving, by region and country

Region/Country Donors Average gift Population Number of
(%) per person (£) (000s) donors (000s)

South West 62.0 15.17 4,104 2,544
Scotland 61.2 16.00 5,057 3,095
North West 59.2 14.20 5,467 3,236
East of England 58.8 11.82 4,423 2,601
South East 58.7 14.83 6,546 3,842
North East 58.5 11.06 2,058 1,204
