In an alternate turn of events, in 2014 Scotland may have voted to leave the UK.
Where do you think we would be today as a nation.
1) Would we have been happily back in the EU by now ticking along nicely using the euro etc. Coronavirus under control and being managed satisfactorily.

2) Would we be out on our own, not yet in EU, no currency of our own, ravaged by Coronavirus, oil on its knees, financial institutions already moved out of Edinburgh.
NHS collapsed, nowhere to turn for additional funding.

In my opinion it would be a lot like option 2, the EU is being of no benefit to the nations under its umberella, its every nation for itself right now.
An independent Scotland would be royally screwed right now, thank goodness we made the right choice in 2014.
