The Scottish Regiments are really that only in name - they are paid for by the British Taxpayer, so it is therefore unlikely that an independant Scotland could afford them.
As this vote affects the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland then all citizens should be entitled to a vote - then Scotland would probably be certain of getting independence.

If Scottish regiments are payed for by the British taxpayer, then some of the money must come from Scottish taxpayers. And it should not be forgotten that Scottish troops served with distinction in the British Armed Forces. We should not forget that on this day of remembrance.
