AN audience of more than 200 businesswomen heard the pros and cons of Scottish independence at the Scottish Women in Business debate.
Host Sally Magnusson introduced speakers Nicola Sturgeon, Annabel Goldie, Johann Lamont and journalist Ruth Wishart at the event at the University of Strathclyde.
Scottish Conservative constitution spokeswoman Annabel Goldie said: "These events are vital in allowing us to engage with voters and explain just how important this referendum is.
"It gives us the chance to advance the very positive case which is the strong partnership of the UK with a strong Scottish Parliament to deal with domestic issues.
"They also allow a platform to argue forcefully against uncertainty and instability which would be the consequence of voting for separation."
Scottish Women in Business is a leading networking group for businesswomen in and around Glasgow.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
