After the crushing closure of the motorola plant in Scotland recently many hoped to see an end to the demise of Hi-tech in central Scotland. Unfortunately the biggest assembler of Cisco components, Solecton, is killing off another 475 jobs across Scotland.

An independent Scotland would be able to offer the kind of incentives and develop the kind of high level corporate relations Ireland has enjoyed.
