The referendum for Scotland to gain total independence from Great Britain is expected to be held in 2013 or 2014. For information and discussion of this topic from primary sources in Great Britain, consult the following:
The
British Government's Scotland Office will give London's perspective on Scottish matters. They have produced
this page on Scotland's Constitutional Future which includes a consultation paper published earlier this year. There's also the
British Parliament's House of Commons Scottish Affairs Committee.
For perspectives from Edinburgh, the Scottish Government's website is
http://home.scotland.gov.uk/home, with constitutional reform information featured in the lower right corner. Their devolved Parliament website is
http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/, and the pro-independence Scottish National Party, which has a majority in this parliament, can be found at
http://www.snp.org/.
For House of Commons Library information comparable to the U.S. Congressional Research Service reports, see
