Scottish independence : It’s all about the money, honey….

Money in an independent Scotland is what really matters to the majority of folk considering the decision they’ll make next year. Oh I know there are a few of us who would vote yes even if we were going to move into a cave the day following independence but for the majority of the folk…

Hi Bods, My name is Jeane, I’m 16 and live in “Newglas”. I’ve been asked to do a project on the history of Scotland over the years since independence by my home-school “Av” (how boring). I have to include all the “big events” that formed Scotland into what it is today. Oh well, here goes……
