Date of destiny


On 18 September 2014, Scotland will be voting in a referendum on the question: ‘Should Scotland be an independent country?’ The Scottish Government believes they should vote Yes.

The Scottish Government believes they have a talented population with many world-class businesses and institutions.

"We have a proud history, progressive traditions, fine intellectual and artistic accomplishments, a strong identity and many friends across the world."

"Through devolution, the people of Scotland have experienced some of the benefits of independence. The advantages of taking decisions for ourselves have been clear. Crime is lower. Health outcomes have improved. In many ways – like our unemployment rate – our economy is stronger than the UK as a whole."

"The Scottish Parliament has protected the NHS from privatisation and restored our tradition of free education. This guide lays out how we can complete Scotland’s journey to home rule and become a fully independent country. If Scotland votes Yes in the referendum the Scottish Government will negotiate so that Scotland becomes independent on 24 March 2016."
