Herald Scotland has some interesting stats about the Yes campaign. They'd apparently set a fundraising target of £24m, but have so far declared reaching £4.8m. Some £3.5m was donated by Euromillions Lottery Winners Colin and Chris Weir, now living in Troon, They picked up £161m in 2011.

Earlier figures to the Electoral Commission show that Dan Macdonald, a property developer and member of Yes Scotland's advisory board, and Mark Shaw, director of operations for the campaign. both gave £50,000. SNP  activist, Randall Foggie, gave £125,000. The Proclaimers Live Ltd dontated £10k. Elizabeth Topping, wife of former William Hill boss, Ralph, gave £50k.

Blair Jenkins, according to the Herald, was on a salary between £100k and £120k.  He was appointed Chief Executive of the campaign in June 2012.

  • Anyone else getting the impression that this year will see an increase in licence fee evasion in Scotland ?
