Was a reason ever given for excluding England, Wales and Northern Ireland from this referendum? If it is going to have such a dramatic effect on the UK if Scotland leaves why was it only allowed to happen in Scotland?

Because it is not a referendum on ending the UK, despite the hyperbole in the Press this morning. It is a referendum on Scotland leaving the UK. As such, it's a decision only Scotland can make.
