They are announcing they are moving before they even fully understand what the new operating environment will be like? Seems really fishy to me.

A shame? They have every right to move their business, or threaten to move. It is perfectly reasonable that they would not want to do business in a new country with no currency, and clue as to any way forward.
If it is true they employ 6000 people in Edinburgh, that's a nice chunk of voters for the No side. As long as they're not forcing their employees to vote No, I see nothing wrong with it.
Personally, I'm really hoping for a No vote. I'm of English/Scottish/Irish ancestry, and it's not that I'm against Scottish independence per se, it's just that I think it would be terrible for Scotland.
