    Fiscal Commission backs oil fund for Scotland

    Lovely. We'll be like Saudi driving round in da Mercedes expect greener.

    "The report also sets out how an independent Scotland could invest in a longer-term savings fund to ensure that Scotland's oil wealth provided a lasting benefit to the country."

                  A non-Scot living in Scotland: ?
