I think that they would.
Even without indpendence, what happens if the Scottish Parliament feels that they would like Scotland to drop the Pound for the Euro?
London based Prospect magazaine has a few good articles up right now about Scottish independence. One of the principal sources of contention is whether an independent Scotland would trend towards the "Irish" model, which these authors see as being a neo-liberal paradise, or a SNP dominated Scotland that trends east towards the Scandinavian model.
Either way the Euro would be most likely come with that. And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
If you in Scotland continue to pay taxes to London they will payed in pound, therefore everyone needs pounds and that will be the currency.
What will happen if local taxes are to payed in euros and then UK taxes is to be paid in pounds? Well it would create a hellish bureacracy and I think those who introduced it would loose at the polls. A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
