British Conservative politician and, since 2005, he has been the only Conservative Member of Parliament representing a Scottish constituency (Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale) at Westminster.
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.

So apparently is the United States. We too have gone socialist as a country.
So a split would probably drive "independent" but socialist Scotland to the EU, and give the then tory-dominant Britain more power against the EU, perhaps enough to win a vote out of it. So is tory Britain behind this, like a trapped animal chewing it's leg off to get away? And does that represent an even deeper dynamic of trapped factions doing what they can to escape a globalist collectivism? And yet, the idea of Britain being conservative seems impossible these days because of what it has become - but is that exactly the results that have been brought about by the Labour/socialists that the tories want to reverse? Whatever the case, this isn't just arising frm Scotland, and it's not as straighforward as it appears.
“There, Mr. Holmes, you take me into regions of high international politics. But if you consider the European situation you will have no difficulty in perceiving the motive. The whole of Europe is an armed camp. There is a double league which makes a fair balance of military power. Great Britain holds the scales. If Britain were driven into war with one confederacy, it would assure the supremacy of the other confederacy, whether they joined in the war or not. Do you follow?” - The Adventure of the Second Stain by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
