Scotland would vote for independence if a snap referendum was held today, a new poll carried out in the wake of the UK's Brexit decision has suggested.

The Survation poll for the Daily Record has pointed to a shift in public opinion, with 53.7 per cent saying they would vote for independence, against 46.3 per cent in favour of staying in the UK.

Including “don’t knows”, the figures are 47.8 per cent for Yes with 41.3 per cent backing the No side.
