I'm not Scottish, but I live in a country that had its vote for independence a few decades ago. Some things now are better, some are worse, it is hard to gauge everything.
Economic problems are usually in the center of every independence campaign, so it's probably the same with you. Just know, there will be some good times being independent, there are some drawbacks to it, but it is always better to be the master of your destiny. By being independent you show pride in your nation, and are able to better decide on what's important to your people.
If nothing else, you get goosebumps when you see your country's flag carried at the Olympic ceremony, when you see your country's crest on your passport or licence plate.
Just my opinion, if it's worth anything to you...

Its different in the UK though, we're proud of being British and we're proud of the Union Jack. If I was Scottish I'd vote no.

Yes, I understand it is different, but I doubt that any Scotsman would consider himself British first and Scot second. So your point of view might be a bit biased, but understandable.
It is human nature to yearn to be free, and no matter how beneficial it is to be under somebody's rule, it is always better to have faith and pride in oneself and in his nation, and attempt to build the society best suited to their individual needs.
Sure, some are successful, some a total failure, but nobody should be afraid of trying.
