How will we support our independent utopia then? I suppose whisky export revenue, allied to a lesser extent, shortbread may help. Renewable energy and harnessing it which will be constant in some capacity. Scottish people and others who live here are important and the best resource. Scotland is a relatively well educated country and I would like to think many of us would do our best to make our country successful. At least it would stop the bickering and we would get the governments we voted for. I also think our whole psyche would change for the better as we would become more confident about many things. We would be making decisions on behalf of the people living in Scotland. It's not solely about economics but there's every possibility the Scottish diaspora would also invest in Scotland.
