There is banter between me as a "white settler" and native Scots such as my in laws about how England supports the Scots but most Scots I know who have voted SNP have done for their own personal reasons, such as free Uni education, rather than the independence issue.

That's pretty much the message I am getting from folk in Scotland. They voted SNP because they are actually a half decent technical Government - not because they want to break up the Union. Or, to as one local put it to me:
"Independence? Nah, World's gone crazy enough without that happening".
Personally I think Salmons's rhetoric has become so strident he's frightened people off the idea and has probably cooked his own goose.
