Scotland's GDP figures never contain oil revenue data unless you use the SNP's ones which were probably calculated by some mad rabid nationalist and nobody trusts.
Edinburgh is the 4th largest financial center in Europe and Scotland as a whole outperforms the rest of the UK with the exception of London.
While we may not be perfect we are very far away from the basket case presented as fact by the OP.Comment

SCOTLAND is top of the class when it comes to pupils studying science and maths.
According to a Royal Society report, more children in Scotland sat post-compulsory exams in physics, chemistry, biology and maths than in the rest of the UK.
In 2007, 12% of 16-year-olds sat higher physics. This compared with 3.6% of 17-year-olds studying the subject at A-level in England, 4.8% in Northern Ireland and 2.8% in Wales.
The same year, the number of young people in Scottish schools taking higher maths was 28%. In England, 8.1% of pupils studied the subject at A-level.
3.6% of English pupils take A-level physics 8.1% for maths

While we may not be perfect we are very far away from the basket case presented as fact by the OP.Statistics released yesterday showed that 43 per cent of the 148,000 employment and support allowance (ESA) claimants in Scotland were capable of working, compared with 39 per cent of claimants in the UK as a whole.
The figures sparked claims that Scotland was at the forefront of the UK's "culture of welfare dependencyHow fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment
