A Financial Times article pubished this morning clearly illustrates the economic benefits of independence to Scotland. According to their graphics, based on data from Westminster, Scotland would be 11% better off in the event of independence. This is equivalent to £1,321 per person, per year. This information is not necessarily new to those paying attention, but it is unprecedented positive coverage from a mainstream media outlet.

If you are a member of the Financial Times website you can read the article online. Otherwise, Wings Over Scotland has provided an overview replete with graphics.
