The SNP is in favour of retaining cultural and other ties with the UK and would apply to join the Commonwealth of Nations.In regards to maintaining the British monarchy in Scotland, Salmond has said the monarchy would be retained, while his close relationship with Queen Elizabeth II was seen as favourable towards maintaining ties. However, she was still said to “fear” for the future of the Great Britain, but will accept the result of the referendum.Scottish Liberal Democrat Willie Rennie also asked for clarification on the issue, while Holyrood’s justice committee convenor, Christine Grahame, pledged to hold a referendum on maintaining a “full-blown monarchy, an edited version or go for a republic”

The option of a devomax for a more empowered Holyrood, instead of outright independence, was option that Salmond and the SNP said could be attractive to Scots. Details of what that would entail are unclear. The BBC suggested it could mean not having military chiefs and embassies, which would cost the Scottish government more money. Liberal Democrat Secretary of Scotland Michael Moore said that “devomax is really a brand without a product, a concept of more powers for Scotland without any detail about what that entails.” Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron also added that should the vote go against independence additional discussions on empowering Holyrood would occur. Debated in The Guardian also suggested Scottish independence could benefit the UK as well, while also saying devomax should not be on the ballot as it could result in cross-voting for those who favour independence but look at this as a fallback option
