Im not sure what stance exactly you are asking about but just to cut n paste from the document to give the Scottish Governments current official stance on the subject...
We propose two phases for currency policy after independence.
In phase one, from independence day, Scotland would continue to use
the pound sterling. This does not require any formal agreement with
the Westminster Government. Sterling has been the legal currency in
Scotland for centuries and is internationally traded. The continued
use of sterling would allow time for new institutions, including an
independent Scottish Central Bank, to be established during transition
and to build credibility, ensuring continuity for citizens and
business during the phase immediately after independence.In phase two, a new independent Scottish pound would be established.
This would take place as soon as practicable through a careful and
managed transition. The decision about when the economic conditions
are right would ultimately be for the Scottish Parliament. Part of the
remit of the post-independence Scottish Central Bank would include
advising on these economic conditions. In phase two, the role of the
Scottish Central Bank would expand."I prefer the Shmackarooney but there we go....
Funny that this post (from 8 years ago) is what popped up when I clicked on the thread to come and ask about the announcement that Sturgeon would want to dump the pound.
Can someone who knows more about this explain to me why that would be a reasonable stance?
