I must admit, from a distance this is absolutely fascinating. The Scots I know on Facebook are mostly excitedly saying yes - I think out of a general "Yes, finally we get shot of the English" sort of spirit of nationalism. The Scots I know at work are all saying no - mostly because they don't want to lose medical research funding from the MRC, as well as for the pragmatic reason that they already have an independent legal and education system, and with no more oil, they actually need England's money

Aye, weel.

It's no' sae fun up close, nae kiddin'.

I imagine most events of historical and political significance are not.

Good luck. I shall pray that, whatever the outcome, it turns out to be the one that is best for all of the British Isles in the long run.
