It was the prospect of seeing Scots choosing independence which brought all three party leaders north on the same day. They didn't share a platform in Scotland, but their approach was broadly similar - a passionate appeal to Scottish voters to remain within the UK family. Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond dismissed their interventions as a last ditch sign of desperation. An opinion poll for tomorrow's Daily Record suggests the pro-UK campaign has a lead over the Yes camp. Ten percent had still to make up their minds; but when undecided voters were factored out, the poll put No ahead by 53% to 47%.
