I wish I knew enough on the subject and the implications of it. But I would like to see an independent Scotland,my second name is campbell, so I have ancestral connections with the Dal Riada and Scotti(a Northern Irish Gael tribe) so I guess I kind of romanticise the Gaelic connection between Scotland and Ireland, I would like to see them both independant. Although I am not entirely sure on what they would gain necessarily. I know that when Ireland broke free it was out of necessity, desperation, revolution. However the people of Scotland are not being oppressed by an empire. I think the Union benefits Scotland, and I am worried about them isolating themselves by breaking off.
