The SNP has a majority now, because even though Scotland couldn't bring itself to vote Labour in 2011, no matter how desperate things get, it's not going to vote Tory. By 2016 the Labour brand will be sufficiently detoxified, Salmond will have been in office for 9 years and the SNP will be looking irrelevant.

The SNP get voted in on issues other than Independence don't they? Otherwise this would be a closer referendum.
Alex Salmond must be up to something. I think they know this is a lost cause for now and are keeping their own brand away from being too closely associated with the campaign, instead using it to either help them in 2015, to get devo max, or to test the waters for a more concerted effort in a generations time.
