For the time being, Scotland is still a part of the United Kingdom, as it has been since the Acts of Union in 1707. But with the Scottish National Party firmly ensconced in Holyrood [1], a referendum on independence is on the horizon - by 2015 at the latest. Even though both sides have recently rowed over how binding such a referendum would be, it is hard to see how the British government of David Cameron [2] could deny Alex Salmond’s Scottish one the fruits of a clear victory for the Yes camp. Opinion polls show no Scottish majority (yet) for independence - the closest ones falter at around 38% - but Cameron’s ham-fisted handling of the referendum row surely must have added a few votes to Salmond’s cause. So what happens if they win? Well - this map suggests that Scotland could go Scandinavian, first and foremost by the sheer power of Gestalt psychology. Speak.”
