Will Scotland be an independent country?

If Scotland would leave the UK, what is it they want to change the most?

Do they want to keep the British currency or switch to Euro or create their own currency? They want to keep the £ for now util they join the euro.

Do they want to keep sports teams in the "British" leagues or create their own domestic leagues for football etc.? No idea. Hasn't been mentioned.

Do they want to keep English as their first language or switch to Gaelic or use Gaelic and English as their first languages?(maybe they already do, I don't know this) They'll speak English. No-one speaks Gaelic in Scotland. Wales uses their 'own language' much moreso than the Scots.

Do they want to join the Nordic council or is it just a rumour? Never even knew there was a Nordic council and I doubt most Scots do. Scots have used Nordic countries as an example of small and successful with oil.

Anything else? Keep the Monarchy, keep UK armed forces, stay in the Commonwealth.

To be honest I can't really see why they want to leave the UK. But I am not Scottish so I will maybe not understand this.

Honestly, a giant chip on the shoulder. Scotland is the 'most free' part of the UK. We've had a separate legal, education, health system since forever. Scotland always pushes for more. That's fine but England has done nothing similar. If England were to get the same priviledges as Scotland then the UK would already have split. England has never pushed back for equal terms. Even if Scotland stays, the West Lothian Question needs to be addressed. The only sensible answer to the West Lothian Question is an English Parliament (UK, Wales, NI, Scotland all have constitutional power, England doesn't).

The UK ended when Scotland got it's Parliament back. The English are still waiting for theirs.
