Scotland’s support for EU membership could be a defining factor in the campaign for Scottish independence

Scotland is due to hold a referendum on independence from the UK on 18 September. Luis Moreno writes on the European dimension to the referendum, noting that Scotland has a more pro-EU outlook than the rest of the country. He argues that the issue of the EU may not only have an impact on the Scottish campaign, but that the result of the referendum could create a ‘domino effect’ in other areas across Europe, such as Catalonia, Flanders and northern Italy
