The article discusses Scots attitudes towards an upcoming referendum on whether to secede from Great Britain, noting that approximately 50 percent of voters are expected to vote in favor of independence despite economic risks. Topics addressed include Scottish voters' national pride, as well as reactions to many economists' forecasts of negative economic consequences of secession.
