The date has been set, Thursday 18th September 2014 is when the people of Scotland will be able to decide on their independence and their future.
David Cameron last night gave a heartfelt plea and his voice and body language showed sincerity, i've not been the biggest fan of David Cameron and not because he went to Eton, i've just never found a connection with him.
But after last night i do find a sense of renewed optimism, thinking about Scotland, around 3 months ago i visited Scotland for the first time in my life to do a bit of sailing on a friend's yacht in Kirkcudbright.
Although i really enjoyed the trip and the people, the Scottish government had already done a lot to promote cottage industries in Scotland, you couldn't drive up the A74 without seeing a sign for one industry or another and it's these industries that might have to become bigger players in an independent Scotland.
An independent Scottish economy could falter at the first hurdle, simply put there is a handful of big industries in Scotland, but that isn't sustainable for a long term plan, even the distilleries on the Isle of Islay won't be able to sustain an economy. But independence means the smaller businesses have to play a bigger role in an independent Scottish economy and that might put them at risk of failure.
Business isn't just a minefield in a separation of the UK, it's how will Scotland cope without it's higher funding from Westminster? Alex Salmond would have the electorate believe that oil in the North Sea is never ending, since exploration started there stocks have been depleted and most of the oil and gas industry is based on speculation as to how much is still in the ground.
It's most certainly a tense time, our nation as the UK is split and we can expect lots of fighting whether it be Yes or NO on Thursday, i for one hope it is NO.
