Well, no. Scottish doesn't neccessarily refer to a nationality, it could also refer to a ethnic group. They've got a British nationality, but they're Scottish in ethnicity. Think of it this way, we call people Tibetan, despite the fact that they're nationality is Chinese. Furthermore, the term can be used to refer to people from a specific area, in this case Scotland.

As for Taiwan, they can be Taiwanese - there is a Taiwanese ethnic group, and you can use a term to denote people from Taiwan, just like you can use a term to denote people from Alberta, or Ontario. It's a province of China, with its own term to identify people from the area.
