Your arguments about why Scots should reject independence amounts to saying that Scotland would face the very same perils if it were to secede from the United Kingdom that the uk faces when it leaves the European Union ("Leave one union, lose another", March 18th). Scotland, however, would be leaving the uk to join a single-market union that is rather larger. Although you talk of Scotland breaking with its main trading partner (England), it would have little difficulty diverting its exports to a single market of over 400m people. Moreover, in terms of geopolitical influence Scotland would be better placed in a renewed eu than in an isolated uk.
