As far as I understand it, (and I'm getting my international law from Yes Prime Minister) an independent Scotland, as a new independent state, would not automatically be a member of the European Union. If they wished to join the European Union then they would be obliged to accept the entirety of the res communis, and thus would have no choice but to adopt the Euro.
Have any countries joined since the single currency that have not?
