What impact could the UK’s EU referendum have on the issue of Scottish independence? As Jan Zurawski writes, several commentators and political figures have claimed that if the UK were to leave the EU, Scotland may follow suit by opting to leave the UK in a second referendum. However he argues that while Scots are the most pro-European Brits, this will not necessarily translate into substantially increased support for independence due to the volatility of opinions during referendums.
