But as a Scot I worry about the impact of all this. It is is not just that Salmond and the most obsessive Nationalists are trashing the Scottish brand outside Scotland.‎ In the country itself, as Alex Massie has observed, the divisions of the referendum are also hardening into cold hatred. The so-called "zoomers" on the nationalist side will believe any crazy claim no matter how implausible. Polling even suggests that more than 50% of SNP voters think that the collapse in the oil price, which would punch a multi-billion pound hole in the finances of an independent or fiscally autonomous Scotland, is neither good nor bad for Scotland. That is mind-bendingly mad.
