This compares to a UK figure of £31,900 (including oil and gas output)' 'Secondly, in 2018, the figures tell us that Scotland’s GDP was boosted by around £3,000 per person simply because of a geographic share oil and gas output being included in the Scottish figures.' At a UK level that boost to the economic statistics is equivalent to around £300 per person.' Oil and Gas Production Statistics 2017-18 https://www2.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/Browse/Economy/oilgas1718 more than Italy they produced 70 million tonnes of oil equivalent (mtoe). population of 60million more than Turkey they produced 50 population of 80million more than Germany they produced 46 population of 82million more than Ukraine they produced 31 population of 42million more than Netherlands they produced 18 , population of 17million more than Bahrain they produced 20 more than France 5,4million population Read the McCrone report. '' The document gave a highly favourable projection for the economy of an independent Scotland with a chronic surplus to a quite embarrassing degree and its currency would become the hardest in Europe with the exception of the Norwegian kroner. This led successive iterations of the British government to classify the McCrone report as "secret". This was so to avoid fuelling independence sentiment in Scotland. Professor McCrone stated that Scotland's GDP would increase by around 20% if North Sea oil were counted as part of it. In an interview for Holyrood Magazine on 19 May 2013, ex-Labour chancellor Denis Healey (who served in the Cabinet at the time the McCrone Report was submitted) stated: "I think we did underplay the value of the oil to the country because of the threat of [Scottish] nationalism... I think they [Westminster politicians] are concerned about Scotland taking the oil, I think they are worried stiff about it ''

  2.  @saxglend9439  You too. Edinburgh is biggest financial centre in the ''british union'' outside London. Not Birmingham, Manchester,Liverpool,Yorkshire, Geordieland. Scotland has just 8.4% of the UK population but lands at its ports over 60% of the total catch in the UK Peterhead, the biggest white fish port in Europe, Fraserburgh, the biggest shellfish port in Europe Scottish whiskey making up a quarter of all UK food and drink revenues. It is also one of the UK's overall top five manufacturing export earners largest oil resources in the European Union – Scotland is the EU's largest petroleum producer, net exporter of electricity, 30% of Englands is bought/imported/dependant on Scottish renewable electricity ''The natural resource base for renewable energy is extraordinary by European, and even global standards, with the most important potential sources being wind, hydro, and tide.'' At the start of 2019, Scotland had 11.0 gigawatts (GW) of installed renewable electricity capacity. Renewable electricity generation in Scotland was 26,708 GWh in 2018, making up 74% of gross electricity consumption.Scottish renewable generation makes up approximately 25% of total UK renewable generation. In 2015, Scotland exported over 28.9 per cent of generation Scotland has an estimated potential of 36.5 GW of wind and 7.5 GW of tidal power, 25% of the estimated total capacity for the European Union and up to 14 GW of wave power potential, 10% of EU capacity. Scotland has 85% of the UK's hydro-electric energy resource The Pentland Firth between Orkney and mainland Scotland has been described as the "Saudi Arabia of tidal power" In 1989 in England & Wales the Torie UK government privatised the ten public regional water authorities through divestiture (sale of assets) The ten privatised Regional Water Authorities were: Anglian Water Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water North West Water Northumbrian Water Severn Trent Water Southern Water South West Water Thames Water Wessex Water Yorkshire Water Average water charges in England & Wales Three people - £576.90 per year and £48 per month Straight into companies probably based outside England & Wales in the ....EU and elsewhere. Scottish Water is a statutory corporation (owned by the Scottish government) that provides water services across Scotland.
