yes. Nuclear weapons based in Scotland and then all that offshore oil which is 90% under the jurisdiction of Scotland.

to op:

2 reasons UK would be worried:

*Nuclear weapons based in Scotland and then all that offshore oil which is 90% under the jurisdiction of Scotland.

this is a good article on the oil issue.

http://www.yesscotland.net/answers/what-about-oil-independent-scotland

*......there are up 24 billion barrels of oil still to be extracted from the North Sea with a wholesale value of up to £1.5 trillion.

And these figures do not take into account the possibility of additional finds in fields to the west of Scotland. A report published on 3rd September 2014 by oilandgaspeople.com and industry experts suggests Scotland could be sitting on twice the oil and gas reserves currently predicted.

Scotland is a wealthy country, and fortunate to have these resources. With Yes we will have powers to steward them properly for the benefit of the people who live here, whereas Westminster has wasted them.

It is looking like a big No at this stage.

There are reports that Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont has declared victory for the Better Together/No camp.
