No. It’s a direct result of Thatcher.
I was thinking more of the UK than of Scotland in particular when I wrote that.
Scotland is probably still a less harsh, less selfish place than England but it has moved more in that direction since I was young.
The devolution comment was more about her effect on the Union which she professed to uphold; but her attitude could almost have been designed to undermine it.
I have a post about Thatcher and the Tory Party in the planning.

I’m interested in what you say about Scotland. As I’ve lived doon sooth these last twenty-one years, I’m surprised. I certainly don’t get that impression on my occasional visits back. Care to elaborate? In particular, do you see the “harder, harsher, much more selfish place” as being a direct result of devolution?
