Europhiles normally talk balderdash, witness the comments of some on this forum.

The only thing which might stop Scottish independence is Brown's ambition. Presumably he nor any other Scot could be [what remained of the] UK PM also the PM's negotiating position within the EU would be weakened because s/he represented less loyal subjects, sorry, citizens.

Exactly.

No one should waste their time listening to Scottish 'Nationalist' Salmond.

Salmond likes to play at being the big fish in the little puddles!

If he really wanted independence for Scotland, he'd campaign for a referendum on the question in which ALL voters in the UK could participate! As I've opined elsewhere here, I believe that a significant majority of voters in England (and probably Wales) would support Scotland leaving the UK provided that was what a majority of them indicated they wanted.

Celtic Lion, my eye! More like a Celtic Jackal!

Funny how Mr Salmond avoids any mention of giving the English a say ~ as usual!
