Because the king was Scottish

No, it was less of a racial one. It was an attempt to get rid of the Protestant King James 1 (the only partial agreement i have was that he was Scottish - and did have a number of Scottish advisers). it was an attempt by Catholic provincial laws to replace him with a new Catholic King - they wanted to blow up all the ruling government Scottish, English and Welsh.
