We have recent history of being the UK outside of EEC membership and out on our own and we were fine.
Back in 1707 things were rubbish apparently!!!
I have more political interest in where we are going to instead of where we have come from. I believe that people who live in a country should have sovereignty over that country. Localism usually works best. I see the UK as a means of control for Scotland but as a means to exploit the resources for another. The UK wanted out of the EU because it wants its sovereignty back, but that was really England and Wales speaking, Brexit was a referendum on English and Welsh independence. Scotland didn't vote for Brexit. Scotland isn't even getting the powers from the EU back. If Theresa May had assured Scotland that powers on agriculture and fisheries were coming to Holyrood then she could have killed the referendum dead but she hasn't. She is a centralist from Westminster, they do not like to give powers away.
