    Here's how it is going to play out, Scotland will become independent, lower Corp Tax, attract loads of businesses who enjoy the golf and whiskey as well and will take over London as the financial capital of the world.

              There is no inferiority complex. The last 'war' between the English and Scots resulted in a stalemate and the last pitched battle when an English King and Scottish King were both on the field of battle resulted in yon English King high tailing it back to London as fast as his horse could carry him leaving almost 2/3rds of his army lying dead on the field.

                      There is a misconception that Scottish oil would be everything above the longitude of the boarder. Most international divisions in the sea are a countenance of the boarder. Take a look and the bottom left, if that is continued half the oil fields go to England.
