Angus Robertson
Angus Struan Carolus Robertson is a Scottish politician who has served as the Cabinet Secretary for the Constitution, External Affairs, and Culture since 2021. From 2016 to 2018, he was the Depute Leader of the Scottish National Party, having been elected as a member of the Scottish Parliament from Edinburgh Central in 2021.
He is the clear favorite to replace Nicola Sturgeon at this stage and will be playing a huge part on any Scottish referendum for Independence between now and 2026
Referendum Betting
Betting on the date of the next Scottish Independence Referendum prefers the 50% chance that Scots will have to wait until 2025 for it to happen.

Nicola Sturgeon has said the Scottish Government will get back to work on plans for a Scottish Independence referendum, outlining 'Before the end of 2023' as a potential date.
She said plans would be somewhat dictated by any further COVID interference but that it is clear another referendum since the last in 2014 is required, post the UK's leave decision on Brexit.
As a result betting sites have opened markets for wagers to place on the date.
