Vivid Scenes of Life Along the Scottish Border
Next year, Scots will get to vote for their independence from the UK. In border towns, the issue hasn't gotten too many people riled up.
A year from now, the Scottish government will hold a referendum on whether or not it should become independent from the United Kingdom.
If voters say "yes" to independence, a constitutional settlement would need to be put together and agreed upon with the U.K. government. That could take time, as a settlement would include solving issues of military defense, Scotland's share of the national debt, and its use of the pound.
