Abstract
It is no exaggeration to say that the Scottish referendum on independence was presented in the Spanish media as a top-priority domestic issue throughout the whole campaign, reaching a climax of expectation and, in some quarters, even trepidation towards the end. Given the territorial tensions in Spain at the time, this is hardly surprising and, as we will see, coverage of the Scottish referendum acted primarily as a proxy for position-taking in relation to those tensions.
