In short no. Scotland has a devolved government and Parliament but is still part of the U.K.
Not yet, but hopefully soon!
It's the other way round. England went to war with Scotland. Robert the Bruce was trying to preserve Scotland's independence so he went to war against England.
Scotland never gained independence from Great Britain. Scotland is one of four provinces in Great Britain. England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Though Scotland is a part of Great Britain, it is still very common to say "When are you going to Scotland?", rather than saying, "When are you going to Great Britain?"
This was the beginning of the first Scottish War of Independance.
No country won its independence from Great Britain in 1996. The United Kingdom is an independent country which includes England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Yes, Scotland has its own government, but it is a devolved government, meaning that Scotland is still joined to the United Kingdom. As this is the case, when it comes to issues like Passports people in Scotland still have to us a British passport. Until Scotland gets Independence, this will continue to be the case. Once Scotland becomes independent, Scottish citizens will then be able to apply for Scottish passports as Scotland will then be sovereign and, like other independent nations, have its own embassies abroad.
Scotland's independence referendum is tomorrow - 18 September.
Scotland will have a vote in 2014 to see if the people want independence - :)
Scotland didn't vote for independence. The electorate voted to remain part of the UK.
The independence referendum will bein September 2014.
If you are referring to Independence Day, this is an American holiday only, which has nothing to do with Scotland.

Wars of Scottish Independence
Scottish Independence hasn't yet been gained. Scotland is still part of the United Kingdom. The SNP, Scottish National Party, have promised the people of Scotland a referendum on Scottish independence but it hasn't happened yet.
It's the other way round. England went to war with Scotland. Robert the Bruce was trying to preserve Scotland's independence so he went to war against England.
Though many battles were fought, ultimately Scotland lost its 'independence' and became a part of a united kingdom. A union of which it is still a major and important part.
