Ex-pats Cox and Ferguson's views of Scotland's future

Ex-pats Brian Cox and Niall Ferguson gave their views on the future of their homeland, days ahead of the referendum vote.

The actor backs Scotland breaking away, and says it was also a path to English independence, and that some Scottish people feel they have been treated like children.

While the historian reckons the blue would have to be pulled from the Union Jack in an "acrimonious and protracted" divorce, should Scotland vote yes.

They joined Andrew Neil, Diane Abbott and Michael Portillo on a special This Week from Edinburgh.
