What would a 'Divorce' of the United Kingdom mean for Scotland and for the rest of us?

In advance of a radio show on Radio 4 entitled "The Beginner's Guide to Separation", the BBC web site has a quick look at some of the implications of Scotland leaving the United Kingdom, some of which I wouldn't have necessarily considered.

Some highlights

Firstly, while Scotland would seek it's fair share of oil and gas, they would also be entitled to a population-based share of other resources (public property, essentially) and, on the other hand, their share of the national debt. They'd most likely have to re-apply to join the EU (and I'd guess this wouldn't be immediate). In fact, I wonder if the newly reduced United Kingdom might also have to reapply?

Any Scots serving in the army would also have to consider applying for the proposed miniature defence force. Failing that they'd have to find a civilian job or serve in a (nominally, at least) "foreign" army.

Food for thought, no?
