Stumble you may, fall you won’t, rise you will. To chart your own history. Map your own political and economic future without being beholden to Westminster. Free yourself of monarchy and peerage. Vote in and out your politicians. Print your own currency. Set an independent foreign policy. Allocate oil revenues as you see best. Get the best out of Scottish enlightenment. Take back Andy Murray. Oust out Rupert Murdoch.
