SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE REFERENDUM - WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO VOTE ?

The key question is "who has the right to vote" this coming September 18 in the Independence Referendum ? 

     -  Only Scottish born residents?... or also
     -  Scottish born people resident abroad or in the UK ?
     -  English UK born permanent residents ?...or also
     -  Non UK born EU permanent residents ?

The answers to these and other questions are also closely linked to the question of who would be automatically entitled to a Scottish Passport if Scotland becomes an Independent Country.

Furthermore, what would help the fervent partisans of Scottish Independence the most ?  Would it not be to limit the vote to the Smallest Electorate possible, i.e. to voters born in Scotland and resident there on the day of the vote ?  

Would English UK born residents in Scotland not prefer to keep Scotland in the UK ?

The real question for Alex Salmond becomes "Is the appropriate Registry of Voters ready ?"
