For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.this has been discussed previously. scotland's attitude to immigration is very different to the national view, and the administration in Edinburgh needs immigrants to grow the economy. if scotland achieve independence, a condition of independent membership of the EU may be signing up to Schengen, which could provide a "back door" to the residual UK, depending on the border controls (if any) initiated between scotland and its

Meanwhile; reports in this morning's German press that large numbers of Ethiopian (economic) migrants are travelling by train and road through the Brenner pass en route to Germany and some no doubt onwards to the UK with really nothing to stop them, the Italians being glad to see them go of course.
It has been noted that Ethiopians in the UK are as a group the most benefit dependant and least likely to assimilate into the host nation.
Theresa be prepared.

"... if scotland achieve independence, a condition of independent membership of the EU may be signing up to Schengen"
There's no "may" about it. All new EU members must agree to Schengen (and, incidentally, adopt the euro). There is no opt out.
And it will be interesting because migrants will have unfettered access to Scotland and, unless rigorous border checks are instituted, will be free to jump on the Virgin Express from Glasgow Central to Euston.
However, we're a long way off that because (a) the UK has to quit the EU; (b) Scotland has to gain independence and (c) the most unlikely - Scotland has to be admitted to the EU (after Albania, Iceland, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey, that is).
