A leading businessman has declared his support for Scottish independence.
Jim McColl, one of the country's richest men and chief executive of engineering firm Clyde Blowers, previously backed calls for a strengthened form of devolution.
"I have argued that full fiscal autonomy should be offered to Scots in a referendum. However, no such option is gaining enough support to be realised in time to make the difference we all want to see for this and future generations," he said today.
