FIRST Minister Alex Salmond met with business leaders in a bid to highlight the economic opportunities a Yes vote could bring for Scotland.

The First Minister said David Cameron’s “fingerprints” were all over last week’s outburst of business concern about independence before saying he would not encourage a boycott of companies such as Standard Life, BP, Shell, John Lewis and Asda, which have warned of the dangers of independence to the Scottish economy or consumers.
