You had your independence vote two years ago, and opinions have barely changed since:

Your best chance of independence lies in allowing the English to vote as well, as there's plenty who would like to kick out their endlessly whinging, ungrateful neighbours.

But what then? The Spanish would firmly veto Scottish membership of the EU (if it's still there..) because they can't contemplate a precedence for Basque or Catalan independence; and even then your finances wouldn't allow you to join the eurozone until you'd worn the mother of all hair shirts for several years.

If you tried to carry on using pounds, you'd run out of cash to pay the wages of public servants within days, and the same thing would happen if you attempted to 'do a Montenegro' and piggy back the euro - Scottish tax revenues are miles adrift of Scottish spending.

Still, you could always start minting new Scottish Bawbees - and watch hyperinflation take hold..
