North of the border

Kate Davies predicts that whether they do or don't go, the referendum will cost the Scots a bonnie penny in tax all the same   It's over 300 miles from London to the England/Scotland border – that's three times as far away as France where, perhaps coincidently, three times as many of my colleagues have holidayed this summer. Yet it is the independence vote north of the border that Londoners and the rest of the UK will be turning their attention to later this month, rather than to the senate elections across the Channel.   But if the Scots do vote for independence on 18 September, will future generations view referendums and elections taking place in Scotland akin to those in France and elsewhere? Personally, I doubt it very much and I believe the two countries will still remain very closely connected, although there are many reported changes that we can expect if the 'yes' vote wins including to the Union Jack.
