I have family in Scotland and they are unanimous in being rabidly for separation. Rabidly all the way to my aunt and one of my cousins saying they'll come to Canada to get out from under the tyrannical English if the referendum doesn't go their way.
Personally I think they are all crazy - there's no jackboots and secret police keeping them down under the limey yoke. Plus, my aunt was born here, then married (and subsequently divorced) a Scot, so she might be unpleasantly surprised if they separate and the kind of nationalistic yahoos that'll be in charge decide that she's Canadian/British, not Scottish, and she can GTFO.
