Welcome.
I used to be broadly a Tory as well, although now I am more a liberal.
History is a fascinating subject, a good choice of subject, although not as fascinating as mathematics. I don't suppose I could turn you to the dark side?

So you might care to look at what the history textbooks say about nationalism with a sceptical eye!
Have you read Linda Colley's book on the Union in the 18C yet?

I point out that when a referendum on a separate parliament in the north of England was held several years ago the response was an overwhelming 'no'.
Just out of curiosity, what is it with you and your obsession with the English? We are all human, are we not?

Coming along nicely, is it?
