He also told a Holyrood committee the country could not be compelled to join the euro or Schengen travel area.

I can tell you from trops to Scotland that many would enjoy an independent Scotland. However, that is without being faced with an actual concept, which might change a lot.

But there are so many Scots on this board, and it would be nice hearing their opinion on this. And if my perception from my trips was wrong, please let me know.
