Scottish independence
Referendum question, 2014
Scottish independence is the political movement advocating that Scotland leave the United Kingdom and become a sovereign nation.
Support centers on the Scottish National Party, which led an unsuccessful 2014 referendum on the question.
The issue remains contentious, with proponents citing self-determination and opponents emphasizing economic and historical union ties: Brexit reignited calls for Scottish independence.
