100 Days Until Scottish Independence Referendum
Campaigners have marked the 100 days milestone until the 18 September, when the Scottish independence referendum will take place.
Currently, opinion polls are suggesting a victory for the pro-Union vote, but First Minister Alex Salmon has said there is still enough time for the "Yes" campaign to close the gap on opponents.
Alistair Darling, of the pro-Union Better Together campaign, said he was confident of a deal on new Scottish Parliament powers after the victory of "No" vote.
