Sorry, but the point of the EU is not to just let everyone mooch off of the central banks and beg for handouts.

Scotland outside of UK and part of the EU is a Scotland ripe for service industry. If the EU helps it's member states to be better than they are individually, which is supposed to be how it works, then there's no reason to assume Scotland will be running at a deficit forever.
