I am very aware of how warmly Scotland is regarded around the world, and a vote for self-determination would raise our international profile even further, with lots of benefits for Scottish arts and culture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
An independent Scotland - like all countries - will face challenges, and we will have our ups and downs. But the decisions about how we use our wealth will be ours.
I think Scotland could take a stand in a wonderful way, ecologically and morally and ethically.
I desperately want Scotland to be an independent country. I cannot, though, sit here and tell you definitively that it will happen, and that it will happen on this timescale, because I have to respect the opinion of the people of Scotland.
I don't feel we need to be independent for me to feel confident in my Scottish identity. I think Scotland is pretty comfortable in its identity. We won't need independence to preserve it... if we don't become independent, it won't disappear; it isn't under existential threat.
We can have enhanced devolution - greater powers in Scotland - but within the strength, security and stability of the United Kingdom, and I think that's what most Scots want.
I want there to be another independence referendum at some stage. I want Scotland to be independent, but I wouldn't choose to have it happen because England votes to come out of the E.U.
An independent Scotland could be far more internationalist and would benefit a great deal from links to both Scandinavia and states in other continents.
Independence is the only way Scotland can realise its full political and cultural potential in the 21st century.
I am wholeheartedly in favour of an independent Scotland.
I feel incredibly passionate about Scotland not becoming an independent country.
