"Though I’ve lived in Scotland most of my life, I was born in Oxford to an English mother and a Norwegian father. We have a holiday cottage in Sweden only a few miles over the open border with Norway. From this international perspective I can see no barriers, physical or emotional, between an independent Scotland and the rest of Great Britain.
