I’m sorry if I sound a bit rude, but at moments like these, I feel really tired. Passports go with citizenship, so yes, obviously an independent Scotland would have a Scottish passport and not a British passport because different countries have to have different passports, which is the whole point of passports in the first place, to show to which country you pertain and under whose protection you travel.

And no, of course they would not sell their passports – Muscat magic idea of selling Malta’s EU passports was one of the contributing factors to the Brexit vote.
