As you know the United Kingdom is made up of many countries such as England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, but not everyone likes being part of it. Scotland want out. Scotland's top politician, Alex Salmond doesn't want to be part of it and wants to make Scotland independant.
There will be a big vote, probably in 2014, that will ask Scots if they want to be part of it all.
At the moment Scotland has its own parliament which controls things like
schools and hospitals.
But parliament in London still controls how much money Scotland gets to
spend, and makes decisions about foreign affairs like going to war. Statistically only 1 in 3 wants independance but Alex Salmond thinks he could persuade them otherwise.
