I don't know about shame on Scotland but I think it would be a shame for Scotland.

However, there are plenty of intelligent people who buy into the idea of independence. As I said before, I could buy into the idea myself in the right circumstances.

However, I only know personally one person voting yes but she was always quite vociferous politically anyway. What I don't get is that she is (or was when I knew her better when we were students) quite far left so I can only assume she just wants to be free of the tories.

The Scottish parliament has had plenty of good moments.

Free prescriptions have been a big boon for me personally since I need anything between four and six different medications daily before one-off afflictions kick in.

Free bus travel for the over 60s is great. Older people can get out and about even if the bus service isn't brilliant.

I'm even coming round to the idea of a minimum charge on alcohol.

But they're still the tartan tories.
