Scotland being part of the United Kingdom has cost the Scottish People their chance to prosper over the last 30 years. This lost opportunity was documented in 1974 in the Conservative commissioned McCrones Report into the economics of Scottish Independence. It found:

* Scotland has an “embarrassing surplus of wealth”
* Scotland would have been Europe's third wealthiest Nation
* The Scots Pound would become the strongest in Europe with the exception of the Norwegian kronor.
* A strong Scottish currency could attracted investors like Swiss Banks

These findings were hidden from the public for 30 years.
