It’s an interesting perspective but I’m not sure the Scots perspective would be putting south at the top?
Magnets still point north and the pole star is roughly north. Also it doesn’t seem culturally right that the Scots would out England “above” them on a map?
The mercurator projection also benefits Scotland making it look larger although it’s a marginal benefit within great Britain itself.

compasses point south too
Was going to say, directions are arbitrary and this map is not intended for navigation.
…this is a perspective projection: scotand’s prominent in the foreground, ingland is below / beyond in the background…
(southeast is up)
