And your point that the people of Scotland by voting SNP were voting for independence remains incorrect.

Which will depend on your point of view.

It is your right to be wrong.

they'll get over it - they will - 100% certain that in time the Scots economy would find it's stable point and that isn't going to be 'third world' in nature.

..and similarly those who vote YES will not all vote for the SNP at the first Scottish general election.
The SNP don't hide the fact that much of the 650 page dossier could be viewed as an SNP manifesto. But if there is a YES vote then the Scottish electorate will decide which bits of it they like - and if they don't like it they won't vote SNP.

I have spent many a happy time in Scotland and looking forward to popping up for the games next summer.
My real question is what is it in the 21st century that Scots hate about being part of the UK. The reason I ask is that going on the comments in this thread, they are desperate to be in the EU which continues to express a desire to become a federal organisation and ruling everyone from Brussels.

As I am sure you are aware OS more Scots wish to remain in the UK than want to leave it...at the moment.
Of the ones who wish to be self governing. The main reason is a lack of influence on a Westminster government that they seem to have nothing in common with.
An example would be that nobody up here wants the bedroom tax it is unworkable and unfair but we have no choice to accept it.

The so called bedroom tax is not just a Scots problem unfortunately. But how much influence will an Independent Scotland have within the EU.

Possibly listened to a little more given the current UK voice often falls on hostile ears - UK being soooo anti-EU in so many things.

For many not so much hating being part of the UK, but keen to be themselves and, in context of the EU, in a position to fight their own corner.

Only if a completely disproportionate say is given relative to population and influence. I do think that some in the YES camp have allowed themselves to become totally deluded over the importance to the rest of EU of a country with a population approximately half the size of London.
