Scotland Independence Bid Stokes Global Interest by Henry Ridgwell The people of Scotland are preparing to vote on whether to become independent and break away from the rest of Britain, in a referendum being watched carefully in many other countries. Some see it as a risky experiment; while others hope a successful vote for independence might energize their own separatist demands. Foreign immigrants to Scotland have a front row seat for the vote. VOA's Henry Ridgwell spoke to some of them in Edinburgh. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/media/video/2448200.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/media/video/2448200.html
