    Emigrating to Scotland following a yes vote.

    Near to retirement, love walking, sometime avid mountaineer and lately photographer, this might be on the cards for me

    I guess the UK tax treatment would be near the same as it would be for Eire but I wonder how hard it would be to 'get in'. Would I need to stow away on a lorry in B-u-T or something?

    What about immigration? | Yes Scotland

    As they're going to be in the EU you're free to move there if you want to.

          Combine that with free unicorn powered high speed broadband and all the crude oil you can drink, and everyone's a winner.

              You just have to live here and you get a passport.

              Just don't be here too long though, with demographics they wont be able to afford pensioners in 20 years, they will scoop you up and turn you into soylent haggis.

                  There will be a separat bilateral agreement. Remember that under UK law Ireland is not a foreign country. This is why Irish citizens can vote and stand in UK General Elections.
