In autumn 2014 you will be asked in a referendum whether Scotland should be independent. This is an exciting and historic opportunity for our nation. We can choose a different and better path.
The reason for being independent is a simple one. It is fundamentally better for all of us if decisions about Scotland’s future are taken by the people who care most about Scotland - that is by the people of Scotland. It is the people who live here who will do the best job of making our nation a fairer, greener and more successful place.
On these pages we provide information about what Scotland will look like on day one as an independent country, based on the Scottish Government's proposals for an independent Scotland. You can find out how Scotland will become independent and how we can build from firm financial foundations, and also read about some of the benefits of being an independent country.
