The comments suggest that Scotland would adopt so-called "sterlingisation" if the Westminster parties made good their promise not to agree a currency union after independence.
Scotland would therefore share the pound in a similar way to how Panama unilaterally uses the US dollar or Montenegro uses the euro.
Such a move would likely see Scotland resigning all control over monetary policy and losing the Bank of England as lender of last resort, with potentially dire economic consequences.
