But pollsters say thousands of Scots won't make up their minds until they are in the polling booth, even after months of campaigning and a last-minute push by politicians from London to try to convince Scots to stay.
The Guardian shows YES strength higher in Glasgow and the Highlands, more NO strength in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and the rest of the Lowlands.
