EU Warns Little Scotlanders: We're Probably Not Letting You In

Scotland’s independence campaign was dealt a blow when José Manuel Barroso, European Commission president, said it would be “difficult, if not impossible” for an independent Scotland to join the EU.

His comments marked a dramatic toughening of the commission’s language on EU membership for an independent Scotland. Pro-union campaigners immediately hailed it as a blow to the claims of the ruling Scottish National party that Edinburgh would be able to negotiate seamless membership of the EU.


Noel has a nice write up, too.

I suppose its a chance for America to snaffle up Scotland!  Go for it then, guys!
