THE top official in the pro-Union campaign has accused the SNP of a "real ugly ruthlessness" and claimed the Nationalists would do "whatever it takes" to secure independence.
Blair McDougall, chief executive of Better Together, made the remarks in his first public appearance at a fringe meeting at the Scottish LibDem conference.
A former Labour adviser, McDougall said the No camp should feel confident, but not complacent, given recent polls and an apparent lack of confidence on the SNP's part.
