British Prime Minister David Cameron and nationalist Scottish leader Alex Salmond have signed an agreement to give the Scottish people a referendum on independence in 2014.
The referendum will ask voters whether they want Scotland to remain in the 305-year-old union with England.
Mr Cameron opposes a break-up of the union, arguing that Britain is stronger together.
The latest opinion polls suggest that only between 30% and 40% of Scots support independence.
Scotland and England have shared a monarch since 1603 and have been ruled by one single parliament in London since 1707.
A devolved Scottish parliament was opened following a referendum in 1999.
Nationalists have timed the vote to coincide with the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn, when Scottish forces led by Robert the Bruce defeated English invaders.
