Not sure about that but this link makes good reading  and speaks of Scotland being a huge player in the energy market, our oil and other exports,very interesting...

It goes on to say that in 2011-2012" Scotland  would have been better of to the tune of £4.4 Billion pounds if we were independent, as well as Scots contributing 9.9% to UK taxes, while only 9.3% of public spending, as Sassy and Irn have covered anyway.

Scotland's finances are also stronger than the UK's.

I will gladly take all that and hopefully never have to put up with another leaching RW government again.

At first I though there was no chance of Scotland voting for independence, now I'm not so sure.
