How do Scotland and Wales keep their cultural identities different from the English?

There are many ways. You could write a book about this.
In Wales, Welsh is now spoken and used significantly and is taught in schools.
In Scotland the accent and dialect are also noticeably different (although there are variations within Scotland as within England).
The countries have their own traditions, history, literature and food, etc. Here are some examples:
Scotland: St. Andrew, Robert Burns, kilts, haggis, scones, shortbread, Hogmanay, ....
Wales: St. David, welsh cakes, male voice choirs, Rugby football, ...
Generally there is fierce competition in sport. In Football (soccer) and Rugby, England , Scotland and Wales compete separately.
Of course not everyone in Wales or Scotland aims to keep this separate identity. Most English people consider themselves British and see little distinction between England and the UK. But in Wales and Scotland they see their identities as mote important than being British.
