The problem is the Scots don't want independence. They simply want to replace dependence on the U.K. with dependence on the E.U.

They want immediate membership in the E.U.

They want immediate membership in the Eurozone.

They want their share of the U.K. sovereign debt forgiven.

Legally, none of these can happen.

They also wanted the U.K. to keep all of its Scotland based military bases in Scotland, and not move their troops, money, and jobs to England.

The path for Scotland from the protective embrace of the U.K. to the protective embrace of the E.U. requires five years in the wilderness as an orphan, with their own currency.

If you think Brexit is difficult, Scotexit is even harder.

Samuel Johnson on Scotland:
“...

The impudence of a Scotsman is the impudence of a leech, that fixes and sucks your blood.’
