Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed her intention to hold a consultative referendum on Scottish independence on October 19 next year.
The First Minister on Tuesday wrote to Boris Johnson to express her willingness to negotiate a Section 30 order which would allow Holyrood to legally hold an IndyRef2.
The SNP leader told MSPs that if the offer was refused, a consultative ballot would be held instead - but only if the UK Supreme Court agreed Holyrood has the power to do so, reports the Daily Record.
