The Scottish independence referendum, which will take place next Thursday, will see thousands of Scots flock to the polls to cast their vote and decide their political fate.
Polls have swung violently between the ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ camps with the most recent suggesting that the ‘No’ camp has just nudged ahead.
Yesterday Alex Salmond experienced his own ‘Black Wednesday’ as The Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds and pensions giant Standard Life said they would leave Scotland and relocate to London in the event of a ‘Yes’ vote.
