Yes. As it currently stands if you have an address in Scotland you pay Scottish rates of tax. As someone has already said this has resulted in higher taxes for those earning over £43000 for some time now since the threshold was not raised in Scotland when it was for the rest of UK. In fairness it should also be stated that your Scottish address also gets your kids free university tuition and your wife free prescriptions. Perhaps the service person should get the option to chose.
