You are of course indeed correct. The UK would still be responsible for the debt, however, Scotland would then presumably quite simply owe us their percentage of the debt. I meant any future borrowing they would be paying more as apposed to that currently owed. Not worded at all well on my part...

I'm not sure how it would make any financial sense. They'd have to take a percentage of our national debt with them and more than likely would be paying a higer rate for borrowing from other nations (they certainly wouldn't have the AAA credit rating as a new nation).
