FoS, your EU chat is nonsense, its propaganda from unionist parties, its only cropped up recently. Scotland would have no problems entering the EU.
The Spain thing is different, Spain is not made up of a genuine federal conglomerate of formerly sovereign states, they are 'just' regions (whether this is right or not is another question - as far as I am aware Iberia was never divided into kingdoms which match the current dissenting regions - the UK is a unique case)
Gaelic is not widely spoken here, no, I don't despite pretending on here that I do - I was taught it for about 10 years in school though.
Scotland won't become independent any time soon because the majority of voting Scots don't agree with it. The SNP may become the majority party in the Scots Parliament this time because Labour are losing a lot of the vote for the reasons they will in a general election.
A non uk governing party in majority control of the SP could be an interesting test for regionalised gov in the UK though. It may be the case that Lib Dem and Lab join up to form an unpopular minority-based coalition, btw, never a good thing.
We'll see.
