The prejudice of some against Scotland and its capabilities is astonishing, so much for a United Kingdom.

I think the Scottish govt should wait and see what, after all the hoo ha and give us independence back from 'leave', just what is the deal in the end with the UK negotiators.
If the deal is as I expect, that we remain in the single market and still have to accept in the greater part or fully, the free movement of EU citizens,then Scotland will see little change likely to how things are now.

If however,the UK insists on not having any free movement of EU citizens and does leave the single market,then the Scots should request a new referendum.
Those who can only make negative slurs to Scotland may then get a shock as to an independent Scotland.
I think the EU Nations would do all it can to fast track Scotland to remaining an EU member as it is now as part of the UK.

I further think the EU would assist the transition from the rest of the UK too.

However in addition, I would think it very possible those foreign investors and companies doing so in England and Wales at present may just move their investments to Scotland,with it remaining in the EU.
Those who would be pompously joyous at their expected fall of a independent Scotland, may just see the opposite take place.

I would support the futures of any forward looking Nations like Scotland any day of the week over any walking backwards as the UK overall has just done, thanks to England and sadly massively and surprisingly Wales too.
