Scottish Self-Determination

How to restore our independence

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.
