forced unilateral nuclear disarmament, principally because Salmond wants Trident out of Scotland by 2017, but it would take 8-10 years to construct new bases. The main problem is somewhere to store and maintain the warheads. they are currently at Coulport inside a mountain! Only likely harbours for the subs are places like Falmouth or Milford Haven.
Division of current UK forces - the SNP has a shopping list of what it wants.
Currency - main reason the SNP wants the pound is to keep the BofE as the lender of last resort and therefore in a position to bale out the Scottish banks etc if necessary.
Voting rights in Westminster in the event of a No vote - if Scotland gets more devolution should Scots MP's still be allowed to vote on English only issues in Westminster?
there were other, but these are the main topics I remember!
