And where will the Scots get the money from to pay for the vote, as for the recesion wasnt that forecast 2 months ago ?
There are quite a few companies in England that are planning to move all or part of their operations to the EU. Scotland could be an excellent option for some of those companies.
Ireland not so many years was one of the poorest countries in Europe. The Irish opened their doors to businesses and lowered their corporate tax rate, turning Ireland into one of the more dynamic countries in Europe - Scotland could do the same.
.
And then went bust because the EU pulled the plug on them.
How will Scotland leave the Union if they are told they cant have a referendum, it would be against the treaties they signed to become part of that union. They cant just hand back their membership without it costing them £millions
You might want to look into Ireland's recent history. The EU never "pulled the plug on them" as you say. Ireland's success in attracting international companies was and continues to be their strength. Ireland's banks got into many of the same residential lending practices that got US banks into trouble in 2008/2009:
"One of the key factors was a U.S.-style, easy-money real estate bubble, in which banks provided cheap credit to almost anyone who wanted to buy or build houses, dramatically hiking prices. The boom lasted for more than a decade, but when the global recession hit in 2008, home prices collapsed and people could not pay back their loans, imperilling the banks holding the debt. In recent years, the government borrowed more and more money to fund budget deficits in a weak economy."
Ireland's crisis explained
Thanks to Ireland's drive to attract international companies with advantageous tax rates, cooperation between business, government and universities and the ability to draw upon a qualified and skilled workforce, the residential lending crisis of 2008 is increasingly forgotten:
"The economy expanded by more than 9 per cent in the fourth quarter of last year and by 7.8 per cent for all of 2015, outstripping official and market forecasts and confirming Ireland as the fastest-growing EU economy."
"That is the highest level of growth in Irish gross domestic product since 2001, when it rose by 10 per cent and ushered in several years of hectic economic expansion. That ended with a banking crash which was caused by the bursting of a house price bubble in 2008."

And the EU did not help when it pulled the rug from under its feet and forced them into taking a loan from the eurozone/imf with strings attached. This led to the Irish economy going into free fall and the cost of living rising beyond most peoples means. So they left and came to Britain were many still are because it is cheaper to live here. The people in the north dont want to be ruled by faceless eurocrats that only want their money and land, which is why the Brits voted out when we had the chance. Strange how the EU gave the French and Germans money with no strings when they faced the prospect of going under in 2006 when the recesion first bit
It is true that Ireland initially refused an EU bailout but was forced to take it. The Irish wanted the banks senior bond holders to take a loss rather then putting the bank losses on the Irish taxpayers but the EU refused.
"Ireland was treated unfairly when its eurozone partners prevented it from burning senior bondholders in its bust banks during the financial crisis, the International Monetary Fund’s former mission chief to Ireland has said."
....
"
The current Irish government and the previous administration lobbied the European Central Bank and their eurozone partners to be allowed to renege on paying back unguaranateed senior bondholders in Anglo Irish Bank – the bank at the centre of the crisis that is costing taxpayers €30bn to wind down. But they were refused."
Ireland ‘unfairly treated’ over bondholders in bust banks - FT.com
"
In Ireland’s case, the starting point is to recognise that it was irresponsible banks, not an overspending government or an underperforming export sector, that pushed the nation over the precipice in the late 2000s. It follows that what Ireland most needed from the EU and IMF in 2010 was not budget cuts and homilies on good housekeeping, but a clean-up of its banks to impose losses on creditors instead of taxpayers. The IMF acknowledged as much in a report released last week."

You state in regard to the Irish: "
So they left and came to Britain were many still are because it is cheaper to live here". Ireland's demographics have seen a rise in population from 2008 to 2015 (and before). The exodus you claim had little impact on Ireland.
You also claim: "...
the Brits voted out..". It would be more accurate to say that England and Wales voted to leave, whereas Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU.
