Rivals do battle on political future of Scotland

SCOTLAND'S two governments have set out their track records for 2012 and their competing visions for 2013, with Michael Moore arguing the success of the Olympics showed Scotland could achieve more within a "family of nations".

Meanwhile, Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon insisted real success could only be achieved if Scotland were independent.

The Scottish Secretary claimed 2012 had seen the UK Government "deliver innovative policies for Scotland and remove the referendum mist against an incredible backdrop of a home Olympics and Paralympics, where our athletes made Britain proud".
