Pranksters create spoof Scottish passport control

Pranksters in the Scottish border town of Jedburgh have set up a fake passport control checkpoint on the border to lighten the debate over Scottish independence, ahead of a referendum to be held this Thursday.
Organisers have claimed that the stunt was intended to offer light relief amongst bitter disputes over whether Scotland should remain part of Britain, with passport control signs and a barrier erected on the small road at the border in Carter Bar, near Jedburgh, which sits halfway between Edinburgh and Newcastle upon Tyne.
Passing motorists were shocked to see a barrier put up with "Scottish Border Agency" branded signs erected, which read that the checkpoint would go into operation on September 19 2014, the day after the vote.
