The Scottish Independence Movement

The Scottish independence movement seeks to make Scotland a fully independent country, separate from the United Kingdom. It has historical roots and has gained momentum through referendums and political campaigns, primarily driven by the desire to have Scotland control its own laws, economy, and policies. The movement is supported by parties like the Scottish National Party (SNP), which advocates for independence, and is fueled by issues such as national identity, economic concerns, and political differences with the UK government. While Scotland is currently part of the UK, ongoing debates and votes continue to shape the future of its independence aspirations.
