Careful, Jim - if that were to be the case then the UK's Gold Reserves and Gilts would be up for negotiation as well. A potential independant Scotland would be entitled to have a percentage of UK national assets, including those.
Besides, the SNP would spin it to their advantage - no need to give them any more free ammunition than neccessary. It would also make the pro-UK side's job that much harder.
