If they vote for independence on a grantable basis, then the settlement will be formulaic as in something like:

1. What waters are theirs (and thus resources);
2. What Scottish Government balances and other instruments we hold;
3. What Scotland owes us on the current account;
4. The tap turns off on S day.

Then some nitty gritty on border rules! It'll be messier than Brexit!

You can be assured that the moaning woman (if she's still First Minister) will castigate us to high heaven, call us bullies and so on when all we'll be doing is a strict accounting exercise.
