[@edinburgher1719]

Great to see so many proud Scots (with no "buts"....!) and to see so many great examples of OUR wonderful culture! Apparently, some examples of "British" culture were on display too - British nationalists welcomed the marchers with Nazi salutes, aping their thuggish brethren in George Square 2014! :) #Scottish NOT British.

[@theanimalkeaper]

Scottish not British I’m ashamed to be British but proud to be Scottish

[@ChrisDanceMusic]

I just don't get people having Catalonia flags. Yous want to join the EU which has Spain in it. Scotland makes more money from the UK than the EU.

[@casperwallace9685]

Hmmm....1 equal voice within 27 voices versus 1 voice in 4 where only 1 voice counts......easy choice really. Where we can trade with 500 Million and 65 Million - best of both worlds

[@cheezeregg2861]

Why would Scotland vote to leave the United Kingdom only to be put in the hands of the European Union? that would only make us less independent as a nation, not give us the "freedom" we are trying to gain (which is a bad idea anyway as Scotland, in my opinion, belongs in Britain. It has since 1707 and always will belong in Britain.)

[@casperwallace9685]

Because we have no voice in our Unionist Parliament - WM. EU doesn't work like WM does. 650 MPS wil always out vote 59 MPS. Its not a union of equals. EU member states are equal members of a union, with a veto. Scotland is, essentially, a possession, and after the UK Supreme Court ruling that the Sewell Convention has no legal effect, Westminster doesn’t require the consent of Scotland, or even need bother with consulting Scotland, in order to change the devolution settlement or anything else that affects the lives of people in Scotland. The EU cannot dictate terms in such a way, and certainly not in any areas lying outside EU treaties. It can't take us to war, or oblige us to host nukes 40 miles from our largest city. The EU don't block the referenda of their "equal partners" As an Independent country in the EU, Scotland would get 12 MEPs, a veto, a seat at the top table, and EU Presidency on a rotating basis . Who would also have a vote on any trade deal WM might wish to do with EU in future. Oh the irony!

This makes me so embarrassed of my home town - if there was another vote, Scots living in the rest of the UK should be allowed to vote. I think it is undemocratic that a foreigner living in Scotland had the right to vote on whether I remain British , when I was barred from a say !

[@tomtscotland]

Does your reference to foreigners include the 474,000 residents in Scotland allowed a vote but born elsewhere in UK (mainly England)?

[@captaincalamity4622]

I don't regard English people foreigners (how ludicrous) in case you weren't aware EU nationals had the vote whereas I was not allowed to vote on whether I remained British or not - does that answer your question ?

[@casperwallace9685]

You have to live in the country to vote on how people live in it. If you choose not to live in the country, why should you get a say in it. Did you give the EU a say on Brexit ?

Well, can Scotland survive financially? I doubt it. [I suppose tomscotland this counts as an abusive comment and won't survive. It's called the free discussion in democracy rather than squashing the opposition. This is a leg. question. Sturgeon's sums depended on oil being much higher than present.]

[@tomtscotland]

If you take the time to look you will see I have already allowed critical comments. I am censoring hate filled abusive comments that would probably get folks arrested if spoken face to face in public.

[@Cruithneach]

@Morrigan Ravenchild The same was said of Malta prior to its independence in 1964, yet look how it's subsequently got on, with one Theresa May recently praising Maltese industry and endeavour. Scotland's natural resources underwrite the UK debt, so shorn of such valuable assets, England could face some challenging times ahead. Your claim about oil isn't actually correct - the 2013 White Paper produced economic projections excluding oil revenue. However, since you brought it up, Brent crude is currently valued at $75 a barrel, a three-year high

[@morriganravenchild6613]

EU handouts?

[@Cruithneach]

@Morrigan Ravenchild Are you referring to Malta there? If so. it only joined the EU in 2004, but perhaps the 40 years of progress prior to that were just down to luck

[@jbjaguar2717]

No serious economist thinks that Scotland couldn't survive financially, it's utterly absurd. If Luxembourg and Iceland manage then so can we, we have an advanced economy and abundant natural resources, we should be thriving right now. The reason we are just barely muddling along is because London sucks out our talent and condemns our economy to eternal doldrums. The reason we run a budget deficit is because of our contributions to pointless British expenses such as Trident.

[@casperwallace9685]

Yes, the 2014 result was won on the promise of all those powers WM promised, then WM backed out of all the promises which got WM that result, so if WM can't respect the result why should we. The No vote was not an endorsement of the UK, it was a stay of execution. Like any contract if you renege on the deal it cancels the result. The 2014 result was invalidated as soon as Cameron disrespected the question and illegally introduced a 3rd option he INSISTED WOULD NOT BE an option. "Vote No for more devolution". That was a clear breach of the Edinburgh Agreement (referendum rules). Scotland’s people are Sovereign and will hold as many referendums as the people see fit too ....it is their right. Its called democracy happens every 5 years in a GE too, the will of the people can be changed by the will of the people. Great eh.

John McGowan What are you talking about? In the UK Parliament Scotland is over represented by head of population, only 7 years ago (and for 13 years before that) we had Scottish PM, Deputy, Chancellor all at once, recently we had Scottish Defense Secretaries (both Fox & Fallon), Scottish Education, Justice & Environment in Michael Gove and continue to be over represented in both high office & Parliament. When you cry about Scotland not having a voice you are lying or ignorant, some of the most powerful offices in the country are/were held by Scots very recently and now, Scotland has a higher number of MPs than it should proportionally and Scotland had the choice to leave the UK which it used its *voice* to decline. You are nothing but greivance mongers who look to stoke divisions based on nothing, Scotland has a voice here in the UK where it belongs.

1. We won't need an English Parliament when we have our own autonomous one. 2. That saying is misrepresented in many modern affairs, including the Scottish Indy movement. Not only that, it appears the UK has done to the EU what Scotland wants to do to the UK - so by that rational you're Pro Eu too, right? Surely then you can understand Scotland's dilemma, being taken out of one union against our will. 3. We won't need bailed out. England focuses on building arms, Scotland wants to focus on our citizens. Compared to England, we have massive forestry, water and renewables. We would have control of 90% of oil and gas under UK waters, and our fishing area accounts for large areas too. We will keep all our tax revenue, instead of handing it to London. Of course, we won't ask for the revenue of 50 years of oil and gas taken from Scotland's waters and squandered by England's mismanagement instead of building a national fund like Norway did with its reserves, worth trillions.

I didn't say that. But remarkable things have happened before. The SNP were never in any meaningful power before 2007 and look where we are now... Even if they get under 50% they'll probably remain Scotland's largest party for some time, and they've helped waken up a nation, and that won't go away, so you can remain bitter all you want.

[@danielsullivan598]

There's nothing about the union that can be "fixed". Either things stay exactly as they are or Scotland becomes independent. One or the other there's no middle ground. Federalism will never happen either as this would require federalism to happen in England/rUK as well and they're not interested.

[@Caerdydd]

Do you think a re-signing of the union based on a british bill of rights would be a fix? also, England would not be a part of our Republic as there Anglo-Saxon, not Celtic, as im sure you know, just addressing the federalism bit, but, most importantly, Swapping govt in London for govt in Brussels is not really independence is it. We Welsh will always stick with the Scots and Irish, but we cant follow you into the German Superstate. If you cant be British, Be Celtic. Alba am Byth!!

There's the problem, we are our own country. The UK is a Union between us all, not just what England wants and so far that's the way it's been for decades.

[@hiddenknowledge2012]

The UK didn't vote to leave, England did, Scotland voted no overwhelmingly. That's not democracy. Basically what you are saying is Scotland is a part of England?

Accept defeat Scotland is British.

Alba gu brath! The British Empire is like the Roman Empire, dead and gone. It's time for Scotland to wake up and end the defunct era of colonialism, we will become a better nation for it, just like every country in Europe which has freed itself from its imperial overlords has become a better nation for it. Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, none of them have looked back from their independence.

1.6 M vs 2 M is no “majority”

@@samantha-janehood5045 I'm afraid the arithmetic disagrees with you - 2m is larger than 1,6 m - i.e. "a majority'

@@ricky502 Nonsense - your problem is that you can't accept that independence was rejected by a majority of Scots
