When Independence is declared, Scotland will become a sovereign country. The dissolution of the 1707 Treaty of Union will come into effect. The new constitution will be implemented, and any existing laws which contradict its articles - the most obvious being the 1707 Union with England Act – will be superseded. Scotland's Parliament and Government will take over all the areas of Government currently reserved to the Westminster Parliament and UK Government Departments. Scotland will take her place in the world and will apply for membership of the United Nations. A Scottish Delegation will be sent to the EU Council of Ministers. |
