There is also an increasing misplaced ‘anti-Scottishness’ south of the border that is annoying me.
Ever noticed the anti-Englishness in Scotland?
What do you think of as an unfair string though? Westminster would never be so stupid as to allow Scotland to seperate based on 50% +1 in a referendum with a low, or even average, turnout; to expect that is just naive.
I suspect that the likely conditions would be a large margin in favour on a high turnout; or it's possible that a certain % of the population or electorate (rather than of votes cast), say 55%, would be required instead.
