The Scots don't own the oil though IIRC, Westminster does? The fact it runs through Scotland is just a logistic matter. If the Scots did leg it I'm sure they'd request a 'handling fee' to process the oil. Which of course should not be too high otherwise Dave will just build a pipe around Scotland and get it direct.
