A new Scottish independence poll has found that the proportion of people who support breaking away from the UK has risen ahead following a Supreme Court ruling.
The research found that 49 per cent of Scottish respondents said they would vote yes and 45 per cent said they would vote no if there were to be a referendum tomorrow on whether Scotland should be an independent country, with the remainder saying they do not know.
Redfield & Wilton Strategies carried out the poll on November 26-27, after the UK Supreme Court ruled on November 23 that another independence referendum cannot be held without the backing of Westminster.
