First – educate yourself on Scotland’s status in the UK
Then – stop thinking that we have to ask permission
Scotland and England entered a political union in 1707.
The union was forged, and is still governed, by an international treaty, the Treaty of Union.
There is nothing in the treaty that says either party has to ask to leave the union.

We were an independent nation, one of the oldest in Europe. Older than England, to be sure. But we’re not independent anymore. Why?
Here’s the lead up to the theft of our independence.
The union of Scotland and England in 1707 was no joyous, glorious merger of two countries. It was an English takeover designed to shackle then plunder Scotland
After the passing of the Acts of Union, England was very pleased with itself, as well it might. At a stroke, Scotland had gone from international competitor to a rich new resource, ripe for exploitation.
Scotland’s attempt to form a colony in Panama could not be allowed to succeed. Whether they shared a king or not, Scotland would not be allowed to get in the way of England’s empire and Darien was deliberately sabotaged by the East India Company and the Royal Navy.
