I'm more concerned with what happens if Scotland votes for independence.

What happens, how soon, who gets what, will there be border controls, will there still be anything in common (ie. foreign representation?) or not, will either party be required to bail the other out if it all goes pear shaped, will there be the possibility of re-entry into a Union in the future, what happens to England/Wales/NI?

I don't think it's fair to give Scotland a referendum without also giving one to England, Wales and NI.
