You mean like being a huge land area and low population density, supplying most of the oil and things like that?
Without taking this completely off topic and into a whole 'Scotland-has-it-so-much-easier-we'd-be-better-off-without-them' argument the post from the Herald is only a small selection of what was a multi-page article a few months back. Suffice to say it went into as much detail as it could about how the figures were broken down and while some parts of England get shafted money wise other areas do quite nicely.
Of course thats not what certain people in English based newspapers (some of which have Scottish editions conveniently missing articles published in England) and some broadcasters want to hear as it takes away their most convenient whipping boy.
