Quick skim of the Scottish Government's Constitution White Paper.

TLDR: Better than I feared and they've finally started listening to constitutional experts but the devil is in the caveats

@Indyposterboy @bullivant @JohanEmpa @djm_black Oh, and the UK's border plan for Scotland includes the creation of hundreds of internal borders within two massive Freeport Zones covering almost half of Scotland's population. These customs borders will be outside the gates of every warehouse that gains Freeport status. Impossible to enforce. Result: More lost tax and more illegal goods leaking into the Scottish economy.

On this point specifically, we have a policy paper on post-indy borders here: https://commonweal.scot/policies/an-independent-scotlands-borders-and-customs-principles-and-approaches/

Also worth noting that the UK's own border policies are not to be envied or emulated. The post-indy border will be valuable in preventing low quality "Not for EU" Brexit goods leaking into the Scottish economy. Not to mention the rotten food the UK is currently importing.
