A Fresh Start with Independence: easy read version

With independence, Scotland could build on its strengths

Scotland’s economy has many strengths. The economy is what the country earns collectively and how we spend that to support people and the services we need.

Scotland’s economy is strong, because:

• our food and drink, like whisky and salmon, are very popular
• we have lots of clean energy like wind power

• Scotland has a lot of people who are educated and skilled
• lots of tourists come to Scotland for holidays.
