If they attempt it, it will be without transfer of powers and almost certainly subject to challenge in court. If they do go ahead, the unionist strategy will be to boycott. Without buy-in from the UK parliament, which is the only sovereign authority in constitutional matters, a yes vote is irrelevant - especially a 100% yes vote on a 30-40% turnout. There isn’t going to be a mutually recognised referendum and Scotland isn’t going to leave the UK. The UK government will respect the outcome of the once-in-a-generation referendum which the SNP called and lost in 2014, even if Nicola and her pet hippies won’t.
