US Edition The leader of the UK Independence Party said the "excesses of Scottish nationalism" can be "pretty ugly" and "deeply unpleasant" after hardline demonstrators forced police to barricade him in a pub for his own safety.
He later spoke to BBC Good Morning Scotland about his ordeal, but ended up ending the phone call early in protest at the interviewer's line of questioning.
Asked about how many elected representatives he has in Scotland, Mr Farage said: "Absolutely none, but rather more than the BBC. We could have had this interview in England a couple of years ago, although I wouldn't have met with such hatred as I'm getting from your questions. Frankly, I've had enough of this interview, goodbye."
The Ukip leader subsequently spoke to BBC Radio Four's Today programme, repeating his view that the "hate mob" who intimidated him were "fascist scum" and "filled with total and utter hatred of the English".
He linked their views to the Scottish National Party led by Alex Salmond, the First Minister, and challenged him to "condemn this sort of behaviour".
Mr Farage, who had ended his visit to Scotland, described being "overwhelmed by a flash student protest" from which he had to be rescued by a police riot van.
However, he insisted that Ukip would still make in-roads with the Scottish voters, including getting an MEP at next year's European elections.
"I do not believe 15 yobs not prepared to engage in debate represent the views of the Scottish people," he said.
The incident in Edinburgh on Thursday rattled Mr Farage as he was giving media interviews. He was left stranded in the middle of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, surrounded by around 50 nationalists and socialists calling him a racist, demanding that he: “Go home to England”.
Police attempted to persuade two taxi drivers to take Mr Farage away from the trouble but both refused as the protesters continued to barrack the MEP with chants of “racist Nazi scum”.
Officers then insisted for his own safety that he enter the Canon’s Gait pub, the wooden doors of which were then locked.
The protesters continued to jeer and shout abuse, with some unveiling a 20ft banner that, referring to next year’s referendum, stated: “Vote Yes for Scotland”.
