With GERS due out next week it’s worth noting two things, firstly that Scottish voters were told in the 2014 independence referendum that Scotland’s economy was dependent on high oil prices. Secondly that non-North Sea Government revenue increased a record 6.1% on 2015/16   This proves beyond all doubt that Scotland’s onshore economy is robust and able to withstand oil price volatility and so busts the myth that Scotland’s economy is in any way dependant on oil.
