I have no idea if the Western Isles and Shetland want independence, but if they do they are more than welcome to go for it.

They are no doubt aware however that as they are not a country and have no history of being a country, they would only be entitled to waters within 15 miles of their coast under international laws.

I wonder how much oil is within 15 miles of their coast?

We'll ending fighting the Irish.

IE, I think international law clearly shows that we will end up with 90% of the oil in British waters. Even the British government aren't disputing that.

"Then of course there will be new "Scottish" waters or are you suggesting we won't have any bearing in mind over 90% of our borders are sea bound?"

They won't just give us the oil . Not going to happen.

Just now it's British oil.

Correct, not without a fight. Same goes for currence and NATO membership.

The Yes vote automatically assumed that they could pick 'n mix with what they keep and what they get rid off without checking out the basic facts.

Arrogance beyond belief and an insult to those residing in Scotland.

its like us asking for a few bricks to Hadrians wall
