I'm sure a lot of the drive for complete Scottish independence is driven emotionally. I like to play Scottish folk songs on my guitar, and not a few of them are emotional appeals to the past.... William Wallace, Bonny Prince Charlie, and independence from England.

I think most Scots are smart enough to realize going down the socialist road is the road to ruin. They'll find out soon enough. It's not like the great majority of Scots are leaping wholeheartedly into independence judging by the failure to get a majority to vote for it in the polls.

"Bonnie Prince Charlie" never fought for an independent Scotland. As a Stewart he wanted on the throne of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and most Highland Scots supported him. Lowland Scots were more hostile to him than the English were.
