I'm not even going to respond to your nonsense on the Hebrides and Shetlands.
Why is it nonsense? Once you start claiming that individual groups have a right to "stand on their own two feet", where does it stop? If Orkney & Shetland vote a resounding "no" in the referendum, why shouldn't they get what they want? Similarly, if the referendum result in the south of Scotland is significantly different to that in the north (and looking at the map of constituencies after the Scottish Parliament elections last year, that's not entirely unlikely), they why shouldn't they have the right to establish the Province of Southern Scotland to remain in the UK? If we're tearing up the last 300 years of history, why do we have to stick to a border that was set in the 11th century? It's a whole big can of worms Salmond is opening up....
