Eric - did you used to be Dr Tim Muff on here ? (strange question - but you both seem very similar)
Nah not me, I was around when DTM was on here.

I don't think devolution can be attributed as the driver of nationalist feeling in Scotland - it certainly hasn't had the same effect in Wales.

The government is meant to listen to it's people, there was a demand for more localised power and they delivered that. Ironically Welsh and Scottish devolution has driven significant nationalist feeling in England for quite understandable reasons.

By the same token, would you blame Cameron for giving Scotland the vote? Some people do but I wouldn't.
