Living in Aberdeen, independence is not what most people want. I am pretty sure Scotland will not become independent. It will probably be one of the other two, and it looks like it could just be how it is so far. All the fuss is about oil, and if Scotland becomes independent, they won't get any because Westminster plans to draw the Oceanic boundaries in such a way, all we will be left with would be the Shetland oilfields.
