she will move to England if Scotland becomes independent. She's born and bred Hebridean
I get the impression that Islanders in general regard the inhabitants of the central belt as no better than the English, and at least being governed by the English means benign neglect rather than meddling interference from Edinburgh.

My Scottish family's opinions:
my nana lives in the Outer Hebridies and is reported to not talking to anyone about this matter with the only word about it being that she will move to England if Scotland becomes independent. She's born and bred Hebridean.
My S-Dad is super pissed off because he can't vote (or vote for a referendum), he's from Glasgow but lives in England.
My mum is more concerned that her mum ^ would move near her if Scotland chooses to be separate.. so she's hoping for a NO.
