[Magdalen] An Independent Scotland?

[Jay Weigel]

Many of my ancestors were Armstrongs. Clan Armstrong was a Border clan and
was outlawed and basically kicked out of Scotland by the Brits in 1610.
>From thence most of them went to Ireland and many came to America in the
succeeding hundred years. I have heard many Borderers still in Scotland are
tending towards a "No" vote. I suspect the Armstrongs might feel otherwise
inclined.
