Edinburgh voted 39-61.

My apologies if it is too soon/body's not even cold yet (insert similar expression here)...

...how soon before we get indyref 2 here?  

Somewhere between 10 and 25-30 years is my best prediction. Probably something like in 14-15 years no? Or perhaps even less.

Though that is extremly unlikely and dependent on the economic growth continuing to be abysmal pretty much everywhere.

Quebec was 15 years between it, but the 2nd referendum came after 5 years of tumultuous politics in the country (1993 election, 1992 constitutional talks). 20 years seems like a safe bet for Scotland.

Luckily we're 19 years from the last referendum (but it's still a painful memory for this then-9 year old), and hopefully many years away until the next. 

Our 2nd EU referendum was tremendously stressful for me personally.
