    The ones that want to remain part of UK are Scots too.

        Not geographically. There are two Britains:

        - Greater Britain (Great Britain)
        - Lesser Britain (Brittany)

        Or in French:

        - La Grande Bretagne
        - La Bretagne

            You'll be called England which most of the world think is the UK anyway, well the septics mostly.

            You want a separation or hope for a yes vote? Then lobby for an English say in the referendum or hold your own and get yerselves tae **** and leave us alone.

              That's not a country, it's a province.

                Great Britain would still include Scotland, even if they were an independent nation.

                  Indeed DS. (By the way )

                  As does Great Britain include the Channel Islands, even though they're not in the UK.

                    We should be called Avalon obviously.

                    Prince Charles can be Arthur, Camila can be guinevere and the nominations are still open for Lancelot
