Scotland and St. Andrew Society

St. Andrew Society: Anne Moir, president of the St. Andrew Society, says she had become convinced in the last few days that the 'Ye side was going to win, but was relieved that Scots chose to reject independence. She now believes Scotland has come out better from the vote, according to CTV. "The things that worried me were immigration, defence -- where were we going to be if we're on our own? And now, it the best of both worlds." Though voters in Scotland have chosen to leave the United Kingdom united, many Scottish-Canadians agree Scotland has been irrevocably changed by the independence referendum. "Scotland now will be given the powers they ve been wanting to have and yet they still have the union," she told Canada AM. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
