This is a booklet which provides important information about the issues affecting Scotland’s future. It has been sent to every household in Scotland.

The Scottish independence referendum on September 18 is the most important choice people in Scotland will ever make.

The UK government wants the best for Scotland and believes that Scotland is better off in the UK and the UK is better off with Scotland in it.

This booklet, which is being delivered to every household in Scotland, highlights some of the ways in which - as part of the UK - Scotland has economic security, international influence and the best of both worlds.

If you’ve not received a copy of the booklet but would like to, please phone us on 0131 244 9010, or send an email to [email protected] stating your address and the amount of copies you’d like.

Alternatively, write to us at: Scotland Office 1 Melville Crescent Edinburgh EH3 7HW
