[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 855598, member: 310216"] The whole border/passport thing is more to do with being a party to the Schengen agreement. France, along with most of mainland Europe, is a Schengen country and as such you can drive from one country to another without border or passport controls. However, the UK and Ireland aren't and if I fly into a UK airport from France, I'm still subject to showing my passport. Hypothetically, if Scotland were independent, remained in the EU and signed up to become a Schengen country there would need to be border crossing checks and passport controls at all the road crossings into England....that would be popular...
