Scottish independence

Scottish independence refers to the movement advocating for Scotland to become a separate sovereign nation, independent from the United Kingdom (UK). This debate intensified after a 2014 referendum where 55% voted to remain in the UK. Supporters of independence argue for greater control over governance, resources, and identity, believing Scotland could thrive economically and socially as an independent country. Opponents raise concerns about economic stability and the challenges of separation. The topic remains relevant, with ongoing discussions about a potential second referendum as sentiments for independence continue to grow among certain segments of the Scottish population.
