Be brave. Stand on your own two feet!
Sadly, I can't see it happening. Some bookies have already paid out on the NO vote.
Still, it did cause panic for the Westminster *ankers, bankers and Big Business.
However, a golden opportunity not taken, in my expectation.
The English should have a similar referendum, imo.

What about Mercia and Wessex?! They will want independence too! Note that in the map below, Edinburgh is part of Northumbria and Hereford is part of Wales

From what I've heard the SHETLAND ISLANDS may want independence from Scotland in the near future - either that or they want to be part of NORWAY, as it was up to the 15th century and to which many of its inhabitants claim it still has closer ties. Of course this would mean Scotland would lose all the oil fields around there and I've heard this is a lot more likely to happen if Scotland gets the 'yes' vote tomorrow.

It will be interesting if Scotland votes Yes to keep have the oil to itself, and then ends up losing some of it completely on account of the yes vote!

it will be cornwall voting next!!! The Cornish as a people are too timid. They let the English walk all over them....the most militant thing they've done in recent years is to fly Canadian flags when a Canadian trawler cut the nets of a Spanish one off the coast of Newfoundland.....wimps! Anyway indigenous Cornish are in a minority now.
