It is what it is.
I find it doubtful that Scotland would be better off on it's own. You would they would be better off on their own because their money (meaning taxes) would be controlled locally, but I don't think that would be true. They might have more money locally, but they would have to pay for everything England used to pay for - military, coast guard, federal police, customs, etc.
It's just like Texas leaving the US. Sounds like a great idea, but.... One of their main complaints is the border and how the border patrol cannot "handle things". If the border patrol - a huge federal government agency with all of the money we put into it - cannot handle it, what in the world makes Texas think they would be able to handle it without federal money? Then factor in billions spent opening new ebassies (what happens when someone from Texas gets hurt in Germany?) and then military (MUST have a military to help control the boarders if they get invaded by drug lords.....).
It looks great on paper but I don't think it's that easy.
