Film star Sean Connery is urging fellow Scots to vote for independence when a referendum is held in September.
The longtime independence advocate says in The Sun on Sunday newspaper that the opportunity to separate from the rest of Britain is too good an opportunity to miss.
He says independence would galvanize the film and creative industries, creating new jobs in Scotland.
Connery no longer lives there and said the decision should be made by the people who choose to live and work in Scotland.

But what currency would they use? Seems unlikely that the British government would let them issue GBPs without political union. The Euro? Well, I guess that’s a possibility if they don’t mind substituting German overlords for English.
To: SeekAndFind
does that mean UK taxpayers won’t have to support them?

No, they can’t use the British pound if they separate.
Nor would they be admitted into the EU any time soon.

They could actually use the pound without being able to issue them - Zimbabwe switched to the U.S. dollar when their own currency melted down - but it means that their monetary policies would be under British control. I doubt if that would be acceptable in the long term. The Euro is the obvious alternative but Scotland is not a member of the EU separately and Brussels would dictate monetary policy. There was a Scottish pound before the Unification Act and I believe they're still being printed, but they're capitalized by the British pound. The Irish ran a separate system until the Euro, but IIRC they kept large deposits in the Bank of England to back it.
That's about all I know from a purely amateur POV - grateful for correction by anyone with greater knowledge.

If the Scots can do it, why can’t free people in Texas, or Montana... or the South in the Civil War?
Oh yeah, Lincoln settled that question forever with bullets.
