Fascinating.<br /><br />I would guess that people who have moved to Scotland from outside the UK will tend to feel quite positive about the place.<br /><br />There's a certain amount of self-selection here, as these people will have chosen to move to Scotland, rather than, say, London.<br /><br />I know that for myself, I'm a bit concerned that Scottish independence will make my daughter's future more complicated (she's English-born, but Scotland resident).
