I'm from the south of the border to Scotland, but we have a similar education system.
It depends on what you want to study. Check the course's website out, and check their entry requirements. Contact them if you are still unsure. Like I said, it depends really on the exact course you want to study. Good options are always classic subjects, i.e. Mathematics, English literature, Sciences, History, Geography, and Languages. Good grades in these types of subjects can be beneficial for any university.
Scotland's economy is only as good as the UKs as a whole, and the UKs economy is not good. Unemployment is high, inflation is only just coming down, demand is low, and the deficit and debt is high. Scotland is more focused on the public sector, which is facing cuts at the moment. Dependent on the figures you look at, the rest of the UK relies on England, and more specifically the South-East which is the economic powerhouse of the country.
There many also be a possibility of Scotland becoming independent from the rest of the United Kingdom in the future- around 2014 - when there will be a referendum in Scotland.
Of course your mother will miss you: it happens to everyone. If this is something that you really want to do, then take a trip to Scotland with your mother, and check it out. Explain that this is what you really want to do with your future, and that going will be a good opportunity to check it out. Also assure her that you won't be alone, because where I live (Middle of England), there is a high American, Chinese, and Indian university population: people in the same situation as you.
Good luck. Feel free to inbox if you need more advice.
