But over 53% of Scottish people voted for independence. Unfortunately over 80% of non-Scottish Brits and 75% of EU people voted against (because they believed the Bitter Together lies that they had to vote against independence to stay in the EU!) to swing the result in favour of No.What the Irish must think of our national anthem!! Their song is a celebration of their independence from england, that they fought for and won. We sing about the flower of Scotland and sending the English home to think again, while voting to remain under their rule!! we could have walked away without a gun being fired! !
So no. The Scots didn't bottle it when it came to our chance of independence - it was because we allowed non-Scots to vote (unlike the Brexit referendum where non-Brits who lived here for decades paying their taxes were excluded from the vote).
