Thing is even if Yes win with somewhere between 51-55% (which is the most they can hope for really) I doubt that Scotland will become independent. In reality the referendum won't be absolutely binding and for them to leave the UK won't just be like the flick of a switch, it'd be such a radical change and require so many months of negotiations that it's likely that anything less than 60% would be considered not strong enough a mandate to make such a massive step
