Bu the Scots don’t need self-rule, as we already have it, with a Scottish Parliament at Edinburgh, and representation at Westminster. NI and Wales have assemblies and England dosent have a parliament of its own.

And we Scots JOINED the UK in 1707. That’s a huge point, we were not pressganged or conquered into it.

So? Why should voters 300 years ago tell voters now what to do? Self determination means just that, self, not someone 300 years ago. If the Scots don’t want to be part of the UK anymore then they have the right to vote on it.
