"It’s funny how the Scottish media seems to favor “Yes” and the British media seems to favor “No”, considering that Scotland leaving the UK is good for the rest of the UK but bad for Scotland."

How so? How is seceding bad for Scotland?

Scotland almost entirely votes for Socialist candidates in Parliament. The SNP is socialist. If Scotland wants to wreck their own country with Socialist rule, that’s fine with me, but let’s not pretend that a “Yes” vote would be good for Scotland.

For starters, they will no longer have other peoples money to spend on their cradle to grave socialist utopia. They will have to spend their own money.

Scotland is overwhelmingly socialist. There isn’t one tory MP from Scotland. So they will go socialist. The upside is, without the Scottish vote, the Labour Party will have zero chance of winning in England in the foreseeable future. Probably why the English press is against it.
