Border issue barrier to split?

Scaremongering in the 'Scotsman' today

What a load of cobblers, as Alex Salmond points out border controls and migration between the UK and the Irish Republic have hardly been strictly enforced even during the height of the troubles. All Scotland would have to do is remain part of the 'Common Travel Area' that involves Britain and Ireland. My wife's family are Irish catholics with members living on both sides of the border, most of them don't even bother with dual citizenship it's just not an issue for them, and I don't see why it would be between to other independent states.
