As far as immigration and identity issues go, don't Brussels and London mean pretty much the same? Or worse London. After all, immigrants in Scotland come mostly from the British Commonwealth.

Salmond isn't authentic. He wants to retain the monarchy and I suspect he's part of the initiative to reconfigure the union using the vocabulary of independence. Not quite, now maybe but at some point..

That's likely. Not the first time that I would see one of these self-labeled [pseudo-]nationalists to use the threat of independence for bargaining.
