Scotland was never a good fit with the English Crown to begin with. It was a marriage of necessity, to calm Britain’s northern reaches.

It sort of worked for the past few centuries, but has been unraveling almost from the first.

Neither the Irish nor the Scots are raiding into England any more. If that’s what they want, an amicable separation might not be the worst thing in the world.
