If they vote in favour, then I believe they should be forced out of the Pound Sterling, as I said there already print banknotes, so use them and get on with it, they should also be made to create there defence/security infrastructure from, with them having to buy military bases and garrisons etc from the British Army and inherit nothing, just my opinion ?

A lot of the army, RAF and Navy camps are where they are, for strategic reasons though.
The MOD and the UK Government need/want them in their current locations.

The likes of RAF Lossiemouth and Leuchars are positioned on the East Coast for obvious reasons. It is the same with Faslane on the Clyde and the several army camps up there too.

Quite what happens to them if Scotland gains independence will be interesting. I cant see Whitehall wanting to sell them though.
