Scotland apparently makes the highest revenue in the UK. They also have access to oil reserves. I think the main reason why England is so keen to have them stay, is because they don't want to lose access to all of that cash. Greedy lot they are.
Relying on oil as a primary economic income is a bit unstable though. England also want us to stay for our military contributions; we produce a lot of good soldiers here. It's interesting though as I feel we need England too in some ways.

You clearly know nothing about the way English people feel about Scotland.
"Greedy lot they are"
Way to unfairly characterise 50+ million people.

It's not only the soldiers, it's also Trident - it's possible if Scotland left, the UK would probably lose its nuclear weapon capability.
Which some would say is a serious loss of defence, and others would say it's one less country capable of triggering a nuclear war.
