Urging the people of Scotland to seize the chance of independence, the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), Alex Salmond told delegates at the party's conference on Saturday that "being independent is the most natural thing in this world".
Salmond went on,
"In devolved Scotland we can demand - in an independent Scotland, we can deliver."
"On international representation, why would we wish to be isolated and ignored in Europe when we could be influential and respected."
"Independence means real security."
