Catalonia is probably the place outside of the UK where Scotland's referendum had, and still has, most resonance.
Why? Because the Catalan government plans a Scottish-style vote on independence on 9 November, even though the Spanish government has called it "illegal".
Waking up on Friday, pro-independence Catalans, at least privately, cannot fail to be disappointed.
The Catalan president, who is expected to get the green light from the regional parliament in Barcelona to hold a similar vote, admitted to me last week that he wanted a "Yes" in Scotland to prove that there could be a successful referendum for independence in part of a fellow EU country.
Catalonia's Foreign Secretary (a title that would raise many Spanish eyebrows), Roger Albinyana, told me that he was "not at all disappointed".
He is keen to point out that David Cameron allowed the Scottish vote. Mariano Rajoy will never give his approval to a vote here in Catalonia.
And for pro-independence Catalans Scotland was a "democratic success", a nation exercising "their right to vote".
However Catalans who passionately want Catalonia to remain part of Spain say the situation here is more complicated than, in the words of one activist, a "black-and-white, yes-no" decision.
加泰罗尼亚(Catalonia)恐怕是除英国外对此最有共鸣的地方了，现在仍然如此。
为什么呢?因为加泰罗尼亚政府准备在11月9日进行一次苏格兰式独立公投，尽管西班牙政府将此举列为“非法”。
在周五早上醒来之后，那些赞成独立的加泰罗尼亚人至少在私下显得十分失望。
加泰罗尼亚的主席希望他能得到他们在巴塞罗那(Barcelona)议会的许可，进行一次类似的公投，他上周对我说，他希望苏格兰能够独立，以此来证明在欧盟内能够有一次成功的独立公投。
加泰罗尼亚的外交部长(这个头衔估计会让很多西班牙人不高兴)罗杰•艾尔宾亚纳(Roger Albinyana)告诉我“对此结果，他根本不失望”。
他尖锐的指出，戴维•卡梅伦(David Cameron)允许苏格兰进行公投，但马里亚诺•拉霍伊(Mariano Rajoy，西班牙首相)可绝对不会允许加泰罗尼亚进行公投。
对那些倾向独立的加泰罗尼亚人来说，苏格兰公投是“民主胜利”，国家行使了“他们的投票权”。
但那些反对加泰罗尼亚独立的民众则认为当地的形势更加复杂，用一位激进分子的话来说就是“这不是黑与白，独立不独立”的问题。

The victory for the "No" vote will please many of Canada's editorial writers, most of whom came down firmly on the side of Scotland staying with the union .
As the vote got closer, many other stories were gently shoved aside by major TV news networks, which had correspondents on the ground in Scotland providing minute-by-minute results. The interest was not surprising.
Nearly five million Canadians identify themselves as Scottish. And Scots have had a huge impact on Canadian culture and history.
Many of those who migrated to Nova Scotia (New Scotland) did so because they were forced off their land. Opinion in some of the communities there tilted towards the Yes campaign.
The Scottish debate seemed to have much more traction in the French-speaking province of Quebec. Referendums on separation from Canada were twice held there (1980 and 1995) and twice rejected, albeit by an extremely narrow margin in 1995.
A group of Quebec "sovereigntists" who'd made the trip to Scotland to watch and learn from the process said they were hugely impressed by the precision and clarity of the "Yes" campaign.
But the group's leader, Alexandre Cloutier, admitted that the next referendum in Quebec could be a long way off. In April, the pro-independence Parti Quebecois was swept from power in the province by the federalist Liberals. And support for separation in the province wavers at around 40%.
Group members insist that despite the result, there are still many aspects of the Scottish vote that could inspire a new generation of Quebec separatists.
But weighing into the debate, Quebec's Premier Philippe Couillard said that while Scotland's referendum was an example of the same kind of healthy tension that exists in Quebec, all comparisons after that were "risky".
