It's better to be able to choose your own way even if you make your own mistakes than continuing under the rule of another nation in my view.
I think you will get your wish. Scotland tomorrow will choose no, but it will be close. This is going to lead to the 'Devo Max' option, that will be given to Wales and Northern Ireland too. Thus the UK will become a Federal State.
But it will soon be realized that England is far too big in the structure, and thus either England will be represented in the Federal Structure by its regions (maybe even Wessex, Mercia et al), or more likely there will be another Independence vote, with Wales and Northern Ireland also getting a chance to decide. And in that scenario I reckon Scotland will vote yes, and it will be very close in Wales.
