Besides which, with all the revenues from gas and oil, the independent Scottish Pound would in all likelihood be the hardest currency... IN THE WORLD*
They wouldn't just have a hard currency they'd have a well-hard currency.

Re: Scottish Independence
There was at one time. A friend of mine who was an SNP member claimed that a senior member had shown him a secret arsenal.

Re: Scottish Independence
Would it not be something of a NI debacle? Just viewing some documentaries with respect to the two soccer teams in Glasgow and it appears as though Sectarianism is rife in Glasgow. Is that the makeup of Scotland? Loyalist and Catholic Nationalists!

Re: Scottish Independence
I thought it kind of odd that Irish sectionalism would be expressed in terms of Scottish football teams. But nothing else in Irish sectionalism makes much sense anymore, either. Granted I haven't been through the Northern Ireland since 2001. The looks my rental with Cork plates got!
