HOME Secretary Theresa May has made a speech in Dumfries urging a no vote.

She said: "This is a critical time for Scotland and for the whole of our United Kingdom.

"This referendum is the most important choice the Scottish people will ever make: a choice between the opportunity and security of staying in the UK, or leaving forever - without the UK pound, without the UK's influence in the world, and without the security the UK provides for Scottish jobs, pensions, and public services.

"The decision could not be more important."
