watching history unfold from over the sea

Sitting here in a small, independent country offers a really interesting perspective on the situation of Scotland. So it has been fascinating to watch events unfold today. Tricky though that is when you rely on the international pages of British media-sites and find half the content blocked and the other half hidden deep within subfolders. Though here there's just general disbelief that anyone could want anything other than self-government - that option seems so utterly perverse from this side of the mirror.
