Nicely done by SIXT 
For the Scottish referendum, isn't it just whoever has a primary residence there at the time of the vote?
I don't see why people identifying as Scottish but not primarily living there should have a say - whist they will be effected by the outcome, so will many people living all over England, Wales and NI who also will not get a say.
It's not perfect, but seems like a practical way to do it.

It's certainly more generous than a recent referendum which excluded 5.5% of the UK population who were directly affected by the result.

The sort of people who love Britain so much that they live here, work here and pay taxes to fund our NHS.

JR - I was specific in my previous post in saying 'electorate'. People on the electoral register in Scotland get a vote.

Germans have got a great sense of humour.
Stander - how it plays out. Johnson says - you've had your once in a generation chance.
Sturgeon - it's now about leaving the EU, so we're gonna hold one anyway
Johnson - it's illegal to do that.
Sturgeon holds it. Leave/Indy wins...
What next? In Spain they threw all the leading Catalan politicians in jail. I cannot see that happening here.
EITHER Johnson considerably softens Brexit OR he gives them what he wants.

Part of me thinks Scotland leaving would play into the hands of the right wing, giving them a tighter grip over what's left.
