Currently at Edinburgh airport following the first of two trips to Scotland this week.
This morning first minister Alex Salmond will reveal the SNP's "blueprint for independence".
It follows the weekend announcement that if a majority vote 'yes' to independence in next year's referendum then Independence Day will be March 24, 2016.
Keen observers will note that this is just two days before the tenth anniversary of the smoking ban which was introduced in Scotland on March 26, 2006.
If the 'Yes' campaign win the referendum it should be quite a party.
Not quite the party it would have been without the smoking ban, of course. I've lost count of the number of pubs that have closed since 2006.
If I remember correctly Scotland lost eleven per cent of its entire pub estate in the four years following the ban.
Perhaps Salmond will 'celebrate' independence by introducing plain packaging for tobacco, minimum pricing of alcohol and calorie limits for convenience food.
But why stop there?
When I grew up in Scotland in the Seventies pubs still had frosted glass and customers were forbidden from taking their drinks outside in case children saw them.
For the average 14-year-old this made the pub our Holy Grail.
Given the anti-smoking movement will do anything to stop children seeing adults smoking, it does make you wonder if similar regulations will make a comeback in Salmond's brave new world.
For the moment Westminster (plain packaging) and even Brussels (minimum pricing) appear to be acting as a break to Scotland's more Calvinist tendencies.
Who'd have thought?
