To: all the best

Be careful what you wish for. The battle of Culloden was 267 years ago and that is a lot of change, integration and blurring of two sets of national interests. The clans were essentially destroyed and with that the sense of identity and fealty to the local lords, lands and traditions. At the least that has been weakened over the centuries whether the Scots realize it or not.

I have little doubt that many Scots still feel the devotion to a free Scotland that lost true force when the Jacobite rebellion was put down but Scotland as a whole has moved on to integration over all those years just as other national groups such as the German States, the Frankish kingdoms, the kingdoms of Italy.

The many economic and social ties to Britain may not or will not last and in the end there may be more downsides than upsides to a split.

Wouldn’t be the first time but again, it is their choice. They just need to be ready to live with any bad that comes with the good.

Just as long as I don’t have to bail anyone out or fight someone else’s war, I don’t care.
