Scotland's Future is a government white paper published on 26 November 2013 by the Scottish Government under First Minister Alex Salmond. It lays out the case for Scottish independence and the means through which Scotland would become an independent country in personal union with the United Kingdom.[1] Salmond described it as the "most comprehensive blueprint for an independent country ever published",[2] and argued it shows his government seeks independence not "as an end in itself, but rather as a means to changing Scotland for the better".[3]
