Scottish independence: Should Scotland have its own armed forces? 2013 survey

If Scotland became an independent country, should it have its own separate army, navy and air force or should it seek to combine its armed forces with the rest of the UK?

The data displays a distribution of respondents to a survey question designed to find out if those residing in Scotland think they should have their own armed forces if, in September 2014, Scotland votes 'Yes' to become an independent nation. In January 2013, the majority of respondents (67%) said that they thought Scotland should combine its forces with the rest of the UK.
