They deserve their Independence. Some of the great inventors were Scots. But of course they are named as British.

The English grab Scottish, Welsh and Irish achievements the same way Aussie grabs ours.

It will be very interesting if it goes ahead;plenty of people now go to Scotland on what's called the 'ancestor trail' checking out their family trees & I think that would increase with independence.
Could be very good for their tourist industry.
Apparently the Scots parliamentary reps have a very close relationship with their Welsh counterparts,Cmyru so perhaps Wales might be next.

With no colonies to send their Royal Family members on goodwill visits to. the money saved by all countries concerned could help the dwindling economies and the English will have to keep them in the style they have become accustomed to. Has Ireland got a hope.
