An Independent Scotland?

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

Scotland joined in union with England over 300 years ago, but ever since there has been a strand of Scottish opinion demanding independence. On 18 September, Scots will get to vote in a referendum on whether to remain in the United Kingdom. Our Scotland correspondent Colin Blane assesses the mood in Glasgow and explores the history of the idea of independence.
