BBC Scotland's independence referendum debate from 15 April 2014, as filmed at the Pickaquoy Centre in Kirkwall on Orkney.

Duration: 1 hour.

Host:

  • James Cook.

Panel Members:

  • Angela Constance MSP, Minister for Youth Employment, SNP, Yes Scotland.

  • Brian Wilson, Former Labour MP, Better Together.

  • Alastair Carmichael MP, Scottish Secretary, Liberal Democrats, Better Together.

Main questions asked:

  • Would Scottish Independence be cataclysmic for the western world?

  • Will Nicola Sturgeon's call for the Scottish Labour Party to reclaim its roots fall on deaf ears?
