http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Resource/0043/00439021.pdfTl;DR There will be two years before Scotland comes into it's powers as an independent state and during that time the Parliments of all countries involved have agreed to work together to try their best to make sure it works.
Becoming independent - the transition
Timetable for negotiations
Following a vote for independence in the referendum on
18 September 2014, there will be a period of preparation for
Scotland to become an independent country. Setting a realistic
independence date of 24 March 2016 will allow time for the
preparations necessary for the Scottish Parliament to take on
the new powers of independence to be completed.
This period between the referendum and independence will
see negotiations with the rest of the UK, represented by
the Westminster Government, and with the EU and other
international partners and organisations. Following these
preparations and negotiations, Scotland will assume our status
as an independent country before the Scottish parliamentary
elections in May 2016.
In the Edinburgh Agreement signed by the First Minister
and the Prime Minister on 15 October 2012, the Scottish
and Westminster Governments committed to work together
constructively in light of the outcome of the referendum in the
best interests of the people of Scotland and the rest of the UK12.
Following a vote for independence in 2014, agreements will be
needed between the Scottish and Westminster Governments,
in the spirit of the Edinburgh Agreement, setting the parameters
for Scotland’s transition to independence. These will set out:
■■ the precise timetable towards independence day in 2016
■■ the constitutional platform for an independent Scotland – the
laws and administrative arrangements to establish Scotland
as an independent state
■■ the process and timetable for the negotiations, and
conclusion of the agreements which will form the final
independence settlement
Negotiations settle the terms
and transition arrangements, for
approval by both Parliaments.
Elections determine who will
form the first government of
an independent Scotland.
The Referendum decides
whether Scotland should be
an independent country.

Chapter 1
PART 1 The Case for Independence
It will be in the interests of both countries for the governments
to make rapid and constructive progress on these negotiations,
in line with the commitments made in the Edinburgh Agreement.
It would assist in preparing for the negotiations if discussions
between the governments were to take place prior to the
referendum, and the Scottish Government will continue to press
for such engagement.
A Yes vote will require work to be undertaken within the
Scottish Government, drawing on external advice and expertise
from within civic society and our academic and business
communities.
The negotiating team will be led by the First Minister, and the
process will include figures from across Scottish public life and
Scotland’s other political parties. During the transition period the
Government will seek the agreement of the Scottish Parliament
to extend its sitting days to ensure full democratic scrutiny of
the process and to provide adequate time for the necessary
legislation to be passed.
