EIGHT things that would change if Scotland becomes independent:

 

  1. Team GB will plunge down the medal table at major sporting events - 14 Scottish athletes won medals at London 2012.
  2. British interest in Wimbledon would be reduced. Scot Andy Murray is our only top 100 male tennis player.
  3. The price of Scotch whisky and other favourite cottish foods such as smoked salmon and Aberdeen Angus beef could go up as it would be an imported product.
  4. The Union Jack would have to change, without the blue and white of the Scottish saltire.
  5. Sterling notes could also change with famous Scots Adam Smith and James Watt removed.
  6. People would have to use a new international dialling code, possibly +422, to phone relatives or friends in Scotland.
  7. The price of sending a letter or parcel to a newly-independent Scotland would also increase.
  8. The UK's Trident nuclear weapons could be moved from Scotland, with Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire, Devonport near Plymouth, Falmouth and Cumbria potential new homes.
