As both sides in the Scottish referendum debate make their final push for votes on the last day of campaigning, the latest polls show "No" has a slight advantage.

The results of three new polls were released yesterday, one by Opinium for the Daily Telegraph, another by ICM for the Scotsman and a third by Survation for the Daily Mail.

All suggested a narrow 52 per cent lead for "No" compared to 48 per cent "Yes", with undecided voters excluded.

First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond has written to voters appealing for the "Yes" vote saying "let's do this".

Ahead of the final day of campaigning he said: "The talking is nearly done. The campaigns will have had their say. What's left is just us - the people who live and work here. The only people with a vote. The people who matter.

"The people who for a few precious hours during polling day hold sovereignty, power, authority in their hands. It's the greatest most empowering moment any of us will ever have. Scotland's future - our country in our hands.

"What to do? Only each of us knows that. For my part, I ask only this. Make this decision with a clear head and a clear conscience."  

Better Together meanwhile will hold a Vote No rally in Glasgow later today (September 16).

Campaign director Blair McDougall, said: "Unlike Alex Salmond who is on a helicopter victory tour, Better Together is campaigning through the night for a No vote.

"Better Together campaigners are working tirelessly to spread the message that there will be better, faster, safer change with a No vote for a stronger Scotland, while Alex Salmond's political project for separation risks jobs, pensions and the NHS."
