An Independant Scotland would mean the break up of the United Kingdom....

I dont have any strong views on Scotland getting its independance one way or the other.... (my scottish side of the family left for England too many generations ago)
What I wonder about is this 'middle ground' or second option?
would that mean the rest of UK copuld have a say as well? afer all, we will have to chip in to pay for it as you can bet your bottom dollar that they wont want the bad bits, just the good ones.
At the same time, we could devolve England so that Welsh and Scottish MP's cant have a say in English affairs....

Seriously though, re the forces and bases in Scotland, I have served with people in the British Army from a number of countries and served in bases across the world.  They dont have to be English/Welsh/Irish and in those countries.

Time will tell, and until it does we keep guessing.
Oh well, its time to pack now, off to Dundee tomorrow.
