I am torn on this one. I do think it is up to Scotland to decide, but seeing what untangling 40 odd years of entanglement is like, the consequences of dealing with over 300 years'worth is going to be immense. It is not like India or other countries which gained ndependence because of the shared border, fi ances and - not etirely of course - legal structures. I would favour far more devolved powers to independence, but as I said, I rhink it is really Scotland's decision
