Scotland's high streets see last-ditch independence canvassing

THE high streets and homes of Scotland will be targeted this weekend with activists canvassing for the Yes and No campaigns as the latest polls suggest the outcome of Thursday’s independence referendum will be too close to call.

SNP deputy leader Nicola Sturgeon said the vote was on a “knife edge” but claimed that the campaign was “moving in the direction of Yes.” 

But speaking before a rally in Glasgow last night Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont said she believed “the silent majority will stand up and be counted on Thursday” for a No vote.
