It would costs millions for an independent Scotland to try & establish
even a tenth of this representation. As they would no longer be part of
the UK, any Scot getting into trouble in a foreign land would have to seek
help from their own embassy or HC.


The 191 embassies & high commissions of the UK are part its assets and
Scotland is entitled to its share however if there isn't a Scottish
embassy in a country any EU embassy will do.


For EU citizens maybe, but Scotland won't be for years.
