Former chancellor Alistair Darling, leader of the Better Together campaign, is beginning a tour of Scotland, seeking the views of business people on the independence debate.
The Labour MP will attend events from Aberdeen to Dumfries where he will discuss the implications of the 2014 referendum with charities, veterans' associations and trade union officials.
Mr Darling said: "Over the next few months, I want to get to every part of Scotland and I want to hear as many views as possible."
He continued: "The people I meet and the views I hear will form a huge part of our campaign in the run up to the vote.
"This tour is about listening. It is about giving every part of our country the opportunity to shape the debate that will define our country for generations to come."
