My Father is Scottish and I was up there just last week visiting him in Dundee.

From what I could gather, it's fairly secure that the No vote will prevail and the union won't be broken.

What was evident however is that even if/when the No vote wins the debate is not going to go away. This whole process has certainly achieved one thing - which is to have brought the related issues to the fore, which can only be a good thing imo.

My gut feeling is that the Scots will inevitably one day gain their independence, just not this time around. They need time to sort out the grey areas - fiscal policy being the biggy - but they'll get there in the end.
