This looks at three myths about Scottish independence:

MYTH 1: You'll have had your referendum.

MYTH 2: Scotland has a huge deficit because we spend too much on public services. 

MYTH 3: The costs of establishing Scotland as an independent country will be huge. 

Small countries are vulnerable in a world of large states. But they may have opportunities not open to their larger neighbours. This work examines three different models of adaptation, concluding that, whichever model is adopted, it will require internal reform as well as external independence.
