But as they'd join the Euro within a couple of years maybe it wouldn't be an issue.

Obviously that depends on whether they can join the EU. Whether the EU wants to give a pass to a country that probably wouldn't meet its fiscal requirements and whether Spain would view it as a worrying precedent given the cries for independence there.

This is all coulda woulda shoulda, the question is should Scotland be an independent country.
I think if the majority of Scots vote for it, no one has the right to stand in their way.

Indeed. But we've all seen what happens when wild promises are made as to what will happen after independence.

Also, if the EU isn't going to admit Scotland then that removes the "we should have a second referendum as the UK left the EU" argument so I'd say it is relevant.
