imo the election was done as fairly as possible. It was of such a magnitude that it was only right that it was for the people of Scotland to decide, not Scottish people.

I found the bold interesting. Have you ever left a country? Or have your parents?
The fact that a Scot isn't living in Scotland doesn't mean they'll never live there again, nor does it mean they don't have a real investment in their country.
If anything, people voting with no investment outside of personal beliefs and emotions is not exclusive to those outside of Scotland, and I'm sure made up many votes in Scotland itself.
