Ah, but it won't be the British Isles if Scotland leave the union. It will be the Britain and Scotland, no longer an Island, with Britain being spread out as part of mainland Britain and part of Ireland. All a bit of a mess really.
It will be British Isles whatever happens. Eire is in the British Isles, and it is independent. Eire is not, though, in Great Britain or the United Kingdom.
