Huw Dalyrmple signed the Act of Union in 1707: He realised Scotland was a small, poor nation surrounded by much bigger, richer and more powerful ones. On its own it was likely to be bullied and used as a pawn in the interests of other powers...but attached to the rest of Britain, he believed passionately that it would benefit from a place at the top of the table, gain employment for its people and free it from conflict and competition with its powerful southern neighbour. History is fundamentally important because it allows us to learn from the past and grow. WHY ignore all the benefits being apart of the UK has for Scotland? The truth is: The UK provides Scots with a profile, with a clout and with business and career opportunities unthinkable in a nation ruled from Edinburgh and whose border stops several miles before Berwick upon- Tweed. Thats why I am voting NO #bettertogether
