A fair chunk of oil and gas revenues go straight to England (crown estates et ), so it's disingenuous to state that Scotland operates only under English funding. There's also a very well established banking, fund management and financial services sector which does pretty well.
Every side of the yes/ no divide agree that Scotland can operate independently given current economic factors, it's not really an issue.
