After independence, the rest of us will have this:

Pretty much my opinionThough I know a lot of Scots who live in London, I do wonder how it would affect them.

There is a legal argument thatbecause both countries agreed to the union both must agree to dissolve it.

True...But as parliament in the rest of the UK is sovereign it's up-to parliament not the people as such. (In Scotland the people are sovereign not the state so only the people can decide.)
There's your useless fact of the day :-)

I think the argument is that neither can split without mutual consent.If this is not the case watch out for Cornwall.

Not necessarilyThere's precedents that do allow for one nation to declare independence from another without the need for agreement of both (Kosovo for one) and the UN rights of self-determination would (in theory) allow Scotland to declare independence if the people wanted it.
There's also some arguments that since Westminster changed the treaty of the union without the consent of the (original) Scottish Parliament then the treaty has been voided.
But I'm not a lawyer and will be talking bobbins.

they asked if you wanted cheese?Since moving here I've never had so much cheese. It's second only to batter in the Scottish diet.
Never order a pizza with extra cheese in Scotland as you'll die.
(Although now that I've discovered cheesy chips, I'm afraid that is just a matter of time).
