It sure was. In fact, I don't think that the word "illegal" should, in general, be applied to such events. Laws usually exist within the country. There are no legal procedures for creating and dissolving the country. Laws are smaller than country so to speak and the process of countries emerging and folding was never a legal process in history of the mankind. Scotland may set a new era precedent, but if you look at any country that ever existed, your best bet is that its birth and death were "illegal" and were accompanied by wars and revolutions.
