Soon be time to buy Scottish holiday lets?

[FWL]

Nicola Sturgeon seemed to have put her foot in it by suggesting she would not rule out closing the border with England if there was a spike in Covid-19 south of the border. Political shenanigans or is she really putting the health of the Scottish nation first?

Well, there could be a seriously unwelcome side-effect:-

It looks as though the Conservative government are looking to ramp up the pressure on Nicola Sturgeon after suggesting she may close the England/Scotland border. This ongoing argument is drawing out the ever stronger demand for independence. As a consequence, I am not sure it would be time to buy Scottish holiday lets any time soon. If Scotland does go it alone there are two factors to consider:-

- It would be outside of the UK and the EU
- There's a huge budget deficit at the moment

I am not sure that the Scottish economy would fare well in the early days of independence?
