By Gareth Rose One of Alex Salmond's biggest financial backers has warned Scottish independence could be bad for business. Bus giant Stagecoach, run by SNP donor Sir Brian Souter, joins a growing list of Scots firms to raise fears over the impact of Alex Salmond's bid to break up Britain. Standard Life, the Weir Group and Barrhead Travel - whose boss Bill Munro was subsequently targeted by cybernats - have all warned about the consequences of a Yes vote. However, the concerns raised by Stagecoach - over the impact on regulation and funding - is particularly embarrassing for Mr Salmond.
