Will Scotland vote to leave the British Union?


     In just a few weeks Scottish voters (age 16 and older) will vote on the referendum to succeed from the British Union.  I am very anxious to see how this vote goes because it will influence a part of my next book.
     Currently Scotland already has a separate Parliament.  This modern looking building is the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh.  The Scotland Act 1998 established the first Parliament since 1707.  It consists of 129 elected representatives.  The Parliament can pass laws affecting Scotland on a wide range of domestic issues.
