I'm a natural philosopher. It says so on my degree certificate. At the older Scottish universities physics has always been called natural philosophy. When I was studying physics at school the text books were Nat Phil O (for Ordinary Grade) and Nat Phil 5 (for Higher Grade).
Sadly the Department of Natural Philosophy at Aberdeen University changed it's name to Physics sometime after I left.
