Scottish nationalists are planning to march on polling stations on the day of the historic independence referendum in a move that has raised fears of 'intimidation' as Scots cast their votes.

Yes campaigners have even dubbed the events next Thursday a 'short walk to freedom', sparking condemnation of the 'distasteful' comparison with Nelson Mandela's struggle against apartheid.

It came as a new opinion poll put the No campaign narrowly ahead on 51 per cent of the vote, with UKIP leader Nigel Farage urging the Queen to speak out before polling day. Yes campaigners plan to march on polling stations in support of Alex Salmond's dream of independence in the referendum, which he has compared to South Africa's post-apartheid election Mr Salmond, who was campaigning in Aberdeen today, claims the momentum is with the Yes campaign, despite two polls putting it behind Better Together As the No campaign went ahead in the polls, Mr Salmond was putting on a brave face as he touched down in a helicopter in Inverness

Three marches have been arranged by a local pro-independence campaign group in Edinburgh's impoverished Craigmillar/Niddrie district, urging supporters to turn up and 'let's all be Bravehearts'. It is understood similar events are being planned in Glasgow's Shettleston area.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said officers will be on hand throughout Scotland to ensure 'public safety and security' on Thursday, adding: 'We will respond appropriately to any issues which arise.'

Electoral Commission guidelines allow campaigners to 'peacefully communicate' with voters, 'as long as they are not within or impeding access to the grounds of the polling place'.

But campaigners should be 'recognise that groups of supporters may be perceived as intimidating by voters', the document adds. Anyone impeding access to polling stations can be told to move by police officers.

Labour MSP for the Lothian region, Kezia Dugdale, told the Scottish Daily Mail: 'I think the vast majority of people want to go peacefully and cast their vote on what they have decided.

'This compares Scotland's debate with Nelson Mandela's walk to freedom and I find that grossly distasteful and offensive. It could be seen as an intimidation and that's not what we want on Thursday.'

Blair MacDougall, campaign director for Better Together, added: 'Arriving mob-handed at polling stations is at best inadvisable and at worst intimidating. They should think twice and respect people's right to go about their democratic duty unmolested.'

A poster advertising Thursday's event was spotted in a grocery store in Edinburgh. Labour MSP Kezia Dugdale tweeted this image of the poster promoting the controversial march Mr Salmond has been criticised for likening the referendum to South Africa's first free election in April 1994 when long queues formed at polling stations

Under the headline 'Yes Craigmillar/Niddrie' it states: 'The pied piper of Niddrie invites all Yes votes to take part in the march to the short walk to freedom.'

Groups will set off from a local car park at 11am, 3pm and 7pm, and supporters are urged to 'bring the kinds, the aunties and uncles, the grannies and granddads, the ma's and da's [sic], flags and balloons for all. Let's create a positive atmosphere… let's all be bravehearts!'

Marches on streets require to be notified to local authorities and the police at least 28 days in advance. If no notification is provided, police officers can take enforcement action.

A spokeswoman for Chief Counting Officer Mary Pitcaithly said: 'The Chief Counting Officer is responsible for the delivery of the referendum, not for its policing. Any issues which might raise concerns about issues of public order at polling places would be addressed by Police Scotland.'

A Yes Scotland spokesman later said: 'The local groups are free to organise their own events, so long as they remain respectful of others, we're pleased that many of them have been creative in making polling day a national celebration.'

Nelson Mandela's 1995 autobiography was called 'Long Walk to Freedom' and describes his battle against apartheid after spending years incarcerated in prison before South Africa's first democratic elections. The latest ICM/The Guardian opinion poll put the No campaign narrowly ahead on 51 per cent, with 49 per cent saying they will back independence On your bike: Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon climbed on to a Yes-branded bicycle outside Drumchapel Shopping Centre in Glasgow Ms Sturgeon and Mr Salmond are aiming to visit Scotland's seven cities in one day, taking in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness and Perth Miss Sturgeon was joined by Trainspotting star actor Peter Mullan, who later said he did support celebrity endorsements Campaigners from the two sides clashed as Miss Sturgeon continued her tour of the country

Chancellor George Osborne and Bank of England Governor Mark Carney are pulling out of G20 talks in Australia so they can be in the UK for the Scottish referendum result.

The two men had been due to attend the meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors in Cairns on September 20 and 21 - the weekend after the poll on independence.

However the Bank confirmed that Mr Carney - who is due to chair a plenary meeting of the financial stability board of bank regulators in Cairns on Wednesday - will now return early to be back in time for the result.

And the Treasury said that Mr Osborne will not now be going to the weekend meeting - again so that he will be in the UK as the results come rolling in.

'I can confirm that he is not attending,' a Treasury spokesman said.

The Bank said that Mr Carney will be represented at the G20 by the deputy governor for financial stability, Sir Jon Cunliffe.

Earlier this week, First Minister Alex Salmond sparked condemnation after he compared the referendum to South Africa's post-apartheid election. The SNP leader said the sight of his countrymen waiting in line to register to vote was similar to that of black South Africans forming long queues outside polling stations in 1994.

Referendum day marches organised by Yes supporters may also take place in Glasgow, it emerged last night.

David Linden, a 24-year-old Yes Scotland campaigner for Shettleston, East Glasgow, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'There's a community in the east end of Glasgow right next to Celtic Park called Barrowfield. Now if you look at the voter turnouts you're talking about for 12, 13 per cent.

'Local community leaders there are organising a march on polling day. They are going to meet at the local community centre. Now, the atmosphere that's going to be there that day hopefully will be so contagious that people remember that as being part of a democratic movement.

'These people aren't going out to vote for the status quo. They're going out to vote for change and they're going out to vote for the Yes campaign, and that is so exciting.'

A Better Together spokesperson said: 'We have had two and a half years of intense campaigning. People should be left to go to the polling stations in peace, without nationalists turning up in large groups trying to influence their vote.'

Asked if Yes Scotland approved of the events organised by local groups, a spokesman replied: 'It's their own initiative.'

Police Scotland Assistant Chief Constable Bernard Higgins said: 'The referendum is a significant event which is expected to attract a higher than normal turnout.

'Policing arrangements for the referendum are well in hand and will be appropriate and proportionate.

'Police Scotland's priority is to ensure public safety and security. We will respond appropriately to any issues which arise. We will not offer comment on the numbers of officers or their specific operational deployment.'

Alex Salmond said it demonstrates Scotland is 'not going to bullied by big oil, big supermarkets, and big London government'.

Welcoming the ICM poll while in Perth, Mr Salmond said: 'Obviously the polls are encouraging, up another 4% today, and of course it will send the No campaign into another desperation of uncertainty which they have been displaying over the last few days.

'I think this poll is important, because given the No campaign have been flinging the kitchen sink and most of the living room at Scotland over the last few days, we have a demonstration that we are not going to bullied by big oil, by big supermarkets, by big London government.

'The people of Scotland are not going to be bullied out their opportunity to create a more prosperous country and also a fairer society.'

It comes after a YouGov survey of almost 1,300 people for The Times and The Sun put support for No at 52 per cent, slightly ahead of Yes at 48 per cent, once undecided voters are factored out.

Mr Salmond said he is 'more confident than ever' that voters will back Yes next week.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage is addressing a pro-Union rally in Glasgow tonight.

But Mr Salmond suggested Mr Farage could be viewed as an 'asset' to the Yes camp, with his visit today at risk of backfiring. The Queen has a responsibility to protect the United Kingdom, UKIP leader Nigel Farage said today as he defied Buckingham Palace's insistence that the Monarch is above politics

The Queen should speak out to save the Union, Nigel Farage said today as he warned an independent Scotland would be forced to join 'the EU state'.

The UKIP leader warned that if the United Kingdom is under threat from next week's referendum, it would be 'handy' if she voiced her concerns publicly.

Mr Farage will address a rally in Glasgow tonight to warn Scots that leaving the UK will not bring about true independence, because Alex Salmond wants to join the European Union.

in a highly-unusual move from a leading politician, he urged the Queen to join the battle to preserve the 307-year-old Union.

Buckingham Palace this week issued a stern warning that the 'Monarch is above politics' and stressing that 'those in political office have a duty to ensure that this remains the case'.

But Mr Farage said that with the Yes and No camps neck and neck in the polls, an intervention from the Queen could prove decisive.

Speaking on his fortnightly LBC radio phone-in, Mr Farage said: 'My understanding of the constitution is if the kingdom itself, if the United Kingdom itself is under threat, then in many ways you could argue she has a responsibility to say something.'

He said he could 'completely understand' why she wants to keep out of politics and stressed that the Royal Family has never been 'more popular over centuries than it currently is'.

But he added: 'There are times when, if the United Kingdom, over which she is the monarch, is threatened itself, when it might be right to say something.

'That doesn't mean that she has to, but ... let's say we got to this Sunday and let's say it was still 50-50 in the polls, I personally think she should say something, yes.'

Speaking on the campaign trail in Aberdeen, Mr Salmond said: 'One of the motivating forces behind people voting yes, one of the several reasons, the principal reason is that some want to see a more prosperous and fairer country,' he said.

'But also there is huge disillusionment with the Westminster system, and that doesn't just apply to the established parties who are deeply unpopular, like Mr Miliband or Mr Cameron, it also looks at the sort of politics that Ukip is trying to influence Westminster with, the negative, insular, anti-European brand of politics.

'A lot of people in Scotland have no time for that and therefore Mr Farage is a rival to Scotland and will be an asset to the Yes campaign, and a huge embarrassment of course to the No campaign.'

With just six days to go until the referendum Mr Salmond and his deputy Nicola Sturgeon are spending the day campaigning for a Yes vote in Scotland's seven cities: Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness and Perth. Labour leader Ed Miliband posed for selfies as he campaigned in Edinburgh today

Miss Sturgeon, speaking to reporters in Glasgow, said: 'Nigel Farage's presence here today helpfully illustrates the choice people have to make next week - we can vote Yes and always get the governments we vote for as a country, or we can vote No and take the risk of another Tory government, or perhaps another Tory government with Ukip.

'I don't think anybody in Scotland wants to see Nigel Farage as part of the government that runs us, and the way to ensure that is to vote Yes.'

The former deputy leader of the Scottish nationalists has threatened a 'day of reckoning' for businesses speaking out against independence.

SNP grandee Jim Sillars lashed out after a host of banks, finance firms, supermarkets and retail giants warned about the dangers of separation.

The 'Yes' to independence campaign's economic case for independence was further damaged after one of Britain's most influential industrialists warned that Scotland's economy could be damaged for a decade if it votes for independence.

Sir Mike Rake, chairman of the BT Group and leading figure in Barclays, said a 'Yes' vote would 'inevitably' cause a slowdown which he claimed could 'easily' last 10 years.

BP will be nationalised and banks cut down to size for being 'in cahoots with rich English Tories' says SNP in shock outburst

The former deputy leader of the Scottish nationalists has threatened a 'day of reckoning' for businesses that have spoken out against independence.

Mr Sillars said oil giant BP would be nationalised 'in part or in whole' while bankers and big business chiefs would be punished for 'being in cahoots' with the Tories.

The remarks are likely to increase business anxiety over independence just six days before next week's referendum.

The 'Yes' to independence campaign's economic case for independence was further damaged after one of Britain's most influential industrialists Sir Mike Rake warned that Scotland's economy could be damaged for a decade if it votes for independence.

But Mr Sillars vowed to punish big business for siding with the 'No' campaign against independence.

'The heads of these companies are rich men, in cahoots with a rich English Tory Prime Minister, to keep Scotland's poor, poorer through lies and distortions. The power they have now to subvert our democracy will come to an end with a Yes.'

He added: 'BP, in an independent Scotland, will need to learn the meaning of nationalisation, in part or in whole, as it has in other countries who have not been as soft as we have forced to be.

'We will be the masters of the oil fields, not BP or any other of the majors. What kind of people do these companies think we are? They will find out.' CBI President Sir Mike Rake warned that a 'Yes' vote would cause uncertainty and could hit investment in Scotland for a decade

A spokesman for Yes Scotland defended the remarks, saying: 'Jim is a passionate campaigner who is carrying on the work of his late wife Margo MacDonald, who dedicated her political life to achieving an independent Scotland and a fairer society.'

But opposition campaigners said the remarks exposed the true goal of the SNP. Labour MP for Glasgow South West Ian Davidson said: 'The Yes campaign's mask slipped today as Jim Sillars revealed their message for the final week of this campaign – vote yes or else.

'His words are a clear threat to anyone who points out the true costs of separation to the people of Scotland. Now we see the real face of nationalism in all its ugliness.'

Mr Sillars remarks came after leading supermarkets and DIY chains warned that prices would go up after independence and a host of banks and other finance giants employing tens of thousands of people in Scotland said they would move to England in the event of separation.

Some of Britain's biggest mobile phone companies, meanwhile, are preparing a collective warning that they would be forced to increase prices in an independent Scotland, Sky News has reported.

BT, EE, O2, TalkTalk and Vodafone are allegedly in talks about a joint statement that would refer to 'the inevitability of cost increases' north of the border after independence.

BT chair Sir Mike Rake told the Financial Times that the uncertainty over independence 'will last for easily 10 years', hitting investment in the country.

He added: 'Inevitably this uncertainty will lead to a slowdown in investment in the UK as a whole as well as Scotland.'

His remarks came after five banks said they would move their headquarters south of the border in the event of a 'Yes' vote.

Amid growing signs of panic over independence the banks are also understood to be lobbying the Treasury to pass new laws to speed up the transfer of their bases to England.

It has also emerged that Marks and Spencer is preparing to join the chorus of businesses warning against independence.

The high street giant is set to warn the Scots of that it will have to rise prices if they back independence.
