The EU and Europe is seen as valued by Scots because of things like the European Convention on Human Rights [1] which the current Westminster government are doing their damnedest to undermine.
Also Europe is a huge trading partner for Scotland. I'm not saying the EU is without its faults, but at least an Independent Scotland would ensure Scots have a better say in European policies than the efforts being made by Cameroon and Co.
I agree that fishing in Scotland has suffered badly over the past 20 years, but the blame is squarely with Westminster and the Scottish parliament hasn't been able to do much to reverse the current situation because it's a reserved matter.
