The Scotsman reports a new
YouGov poll shows the "Yes" side ahead 51% to 49% some 12 days before the plebiscite scheduled for September 18. The poll excluded the undecided or those who choose not to vote. With those groups included, independence gets 47% and union gets 45%.
Europe may be about to get a new nation: Scotland. The jury is still out on whether or not independence will work out well for the Scots - you can read arguments on both sides.

The DrsC have been watching the
Outlander TV series on the
Starz premium movie channels. I'm certain it has been seen in the U.K. including Scotland. If Scotland does vote for independence, some part of the credit needs to be given to this series which rekindles all the ancient Scot vs. Brit hatreds.
The episode currently on view here involves recruiting and fund-raising for the Jacobite army that was slaughtered three years hence by the Brits at Culloden. Roughly 2000 Scots were killed or wounded while the Brits lost maybe three hundred in the hour-long battle, the last fought on British soil.
