Scotland would have the right to large amounts of offshore coastal waters - many fishing rights. Currently many EU fishing boats operate there and fish large amounts of fish. I have seen these ships docking to land their fish at Lochinver, where they are then transported to the Continent by frozen trucks...
A large amount of shellfish (prawns...?) that are consumed in France originate from Scottish waters.
Now I could be wrong here - happy to hear otherwise... but this would seem to me to be a large bargaining point for keeping us in the EU /Europe....
