Powers to set speed limits have now been devolved, so the Scottish 
government could change the speed limit if they wanted. So far it looks 
like there's no plans to do so.

If there is any change, I'm sure it will be clearly signposted, both at 
the border and within Scotland.
Also a few other things devolved, eg the drink-driving limit. It looks 
like that will be reduced in Scotland soon.
