On the subject of the flag, I reckon that will be a debate just as fierce as the vote for independence, although a bit more fun. There are valid reasons for keeping it as is. For one thing, the union flag was never formally accepted as the flag for the UK so it could just be used as a generic flag used to represent all the nations that inhabit the British Isles - which, of course, includes Scotland.
That said, I think if Scotland do leave the union then the UK should still have a flag representing its constituent nations. It also will give the opportunity to include Wales in the flag for the first time ever, either incorporating the cross of St David (yellow on black) or the colours of Wales's current flag, red white and green.
