Do Scottish universities actually discriminate against English applicants?

I'm asking because I'm applying to 3 Scottish universities.

I was discussing it with my teacher yesterday and she stated she wasn't convinced that Scottish universities gave the English an equal chance in the application process. In that, they'll give preference to those from Scotland even if applicant A from England may have better grades/etc to applicant B from Scotland.

Is this true? Should I be wary in applying to 3 Scottish universities and being from England?

Edinburgh do give preference to those living nearby, but beyond that I can't say
I've heard that Scottish unis do discriminate, but as someone who's applying to Edinburgh I hope it's not true!

they claimed this as one of the reasons for rejecting me. they said that many people wish to live at home and so they do give preference to those who live nearby as it might be their only chance to go to uni (stupid excuse) i can't imagine it being so bad that if you should get it you won't, it'll only effect borderline people

Yes, Scottish universities offer free tuition to all citizens from EU member states, EXCEPT the rest of the UK. Ok, so that includes Wales and Northern Ireland as well as England, but the reality is we all know this is aimed at the English, because the Welsh and Northern Irish get reduced fees anyway, it is the English it most effects.

I can only speak for Edinburgh really, but I don't think Scottish unis discriminate against English applicants at all. Three of my friends got offers from St Andrews, one of them got offers from Edinburgh and St Andrews, and I got an offer from Edinburgh. I don't know about Glasgow but I think you should be fine. The hard thing with Edinburgh is the entrance requirements, because they say their offers are BBB but my friends who got offers were looking at getting AAA in A2.

Myths like these are really stupid. Another friend really wanted to apply to a Scottish uni but her dad told her not to because of 'discrimination' against English applicants. Don't let silly rumours stop you from applying to somewhere where you'll be happy.

of course they dont you pillock.
im scottish and know for a fact, that most of the time we dont care where your from, unless theres sports going on.

That's really odd. And unfair, really.

its not, because its a load of crap.
international students get grants or bursaries, and its not all of them, just a select few.
scottish students get in free because our government gives us it free, because we should be entitled to it. its not our fault its unfair, its westminster.
