If you can't even see the difference between a boat and a bridge it kind of explains a lot of the total ****e you spout I suppose.

What kind of windfalls do you suggest are built especially on the Scottish islands.
You would have to kiss goodbye to Scotch whisky produced on the islands of Mull, Jura and particularly the island of Islay which has nine whisky distilleries all working full time plus the Maltings in Port Ellen which is burning Islay peat 24/7 to smoke the barley that makes the peated Islay whisky.
That would certainly knock a hole in the U.K. Government’s balance of payments figures plus the greatly reduced taxation when the scotch whisky comes out of the bonded warehouses would result in taxes having to be raised elsewhere to compensate for this loss of income.
Be very careful what you wish for!

Windfall was such a clear autocorrect that I didn't think I had to edit back to wind farm.

Next,the tax thing. As the English government allegedly subsidise Scotland,its not our problem.

Finally,the whisky. I don't care,I stopped drinking it when I heard about a possible link between something vague the whisky industry does,some smoke of an unknown colour,and hedgehogs going bald.

As you seem to be an expert on everything I look to you explaining how an independent Scotland is going to replace the current £41 billion it received this year as a result of the rules of the Barnett Formula plus Barnett Consequentials.
This money will be gone and it will have to be replaced by Scottish Government taxation.
The vast majority of the Scotch whisky distilleries are owned by companies who have their Head office in England or a foreign owned. The largest of them are Diageo and their head office is in London.
Diageo will be paying their corporation tax to the Rest of the U.K. Treasury not the Scottish Government Treasury.
