By the way, it's "Scots," not "Scottish" as is commonly used by ignorant people.
Scots.

Scottish independence vote threatens to derail 2015 general election
The 2015 general election will be thrown into turmoil if Scotland votes for independence in September’s referendum, according to government legal advice.
An election is scheduled to be held on May 7 next year but by then Scotland could already be preparing to separate from the rest of the United Kingdom.
The leading lawyer who wrote the Westminster government’s legal advice on Scottish independence is now warning that a “Yes†vote in the referendum would have major ramifications for the election, and could destabilise the next British government.
Cabinet ministers fear that if Alex Salmond’s independence campaign succeeds, the general election would be in grave doubt, plunging Britain into an unprecedented “constitutional crisisâ€.

I dunno why the Scots want independence.
Back in 1707, they didn't like it, being merged with England, because Scotland of course had a much smaller population, and it was thought that Scots culture would get submerged, and then become extinct.
As it's happened though, since the Act of Union, despite their much-lesser numbers, the Scots came to dominate much of British politics, government, finance, society; they've been way over-represented as leaders in proportion to their true numbers. In fact, it could be argued that the past 300 years, the Scots have pretty much owned England.

The Welsh, on the other hand, have some, uh, legitimate grievances.

It's good to see the denizen ^^^ of the mental health forum on Skins's island didn't leave after all, despite his threat to some time ago; unlike the now-departed Dennis the Menace, the pilgrim primitive can take good-natured jest and ribbing.
