It's inconceivable that Scotland wouldn't get control of North Sea oil if it became independent. As inconceivable as it actually becoming independent.0

Mind you, Scotland would be too poor and wee to defend it's waters from the predatory English, so they might lose it again quite quickly...0

Nope. The North Sea is divided up by treaty because your imagined 200 mile zones overlap. The agreements were necessary to establish who owns what, where that occurs.0 -

There's also the small problem that last time they were getting all excited about independence the Shetland Islands declared that they would immediately declare themselves independent of Scotland and return to the UK. Leaving the Scots with a lot of free tuition and prescription fees to pay for, and no obvious way to pay for it!
That actually would be priceless. We lose the burden of Shakey but still get the Sheikhs!
