The Scottish Government estimates some 1.3m native born Scots living abroad, about half of them in England and between 28m and 40m people claiming Scots ancestry somewhere in the world, a plurality in the USA.
I’m trying to imagine what things would be like if a million extra people tried to come and live here in the years following independence. Not that I’m expecting it to happen.
