Scots voting no to independence would be an astonishing act of self-harm

Okay, but remember, Scotland is much smaller than the UK and this means in a global economy Scotland will be much weaker.

If Scotland tries to create or enforce any regulations or laws effecting the business community, especially the international community, it will be in a much weaker position. If Scotland wants its economy working it is going to have to knuckle under to the demands of foreigners much worse and much less sympathetic to Scotland’s interests than Whitehall has ever been.

Sometimes you get what you wish for and it’s not what want.
