We're expecting a lively session at Glasgow's Oran Mor on Thursday night when leading speakers from the Yes and No camps debate matters with the referendum only two weeks away.
The Yes campaign will be represented by Fiona Hyslop, Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs, and Patrick Harvie, co-convener of the Scottish Green Party.
Putting the opposing view point will be Alistair Carmichael, Secretary of State for Scotland and Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont.
The debate will be chaired by The Herald's Political Editor Magnus Gardham and is expected to cover a range of issues, with questions provided by the audience and HeraldScotland readers.
All 300 tickets have now been allocated and the waiting list is closed, so there won't be any entry at the door.
But you can follow events online as they progress: here on HeraldScotland we'll be providing a live curated update of tweets by Herald staff and members of the audience. The hashtag will be #heralddebate.
When the debate closes, we'll also be posting the first report of proceedings online here.
The debate is being supported by NVT Group. Stephen Park Brown, managing director, said:
"As an employer, NVT Group promotes lively, interesting and thoughtful discourse in the workplace. "With that in mind, we're delighted to be able to support this crucial debate on Scottish independence in advance of the referendum.
"We hope that the people of Scotland will listen carefully to both sides of the debate before making a decision on how they will vote on what will be a momentous day for Scotland, no matter the outcome."
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
