7. Whisky bottles on shelf in office of Scotch Whisky Association

8. SOUNDBITE (English) David Williamson, Communications Director of the Scotch Whisky Association:

"There's a really clear consensus within our industry that we benefit from membership (of the European Union). We benefit from access to a single market that represents about a third of our exports around the world. We benefit from access to trade deals with lower tariffs and the removal of discrimination, and of course the protection of Scotch whisky is also rooted in European law, and that's fundamental to the success of Scotch around the world."

10. Pan from Edinburgh tour bus to tour guide

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Jim Ross, 63, Edinburgh tour guide:

"I think we're better off in Europe, because we're all one big family nowadays I suppose. I would actually like to see our pound change to euros, so I didn't have to keep changing money when I go abroad. No, I think it's a good thing. I think if we leave, then we're just, we don't know what the future holds, at least we know when we're in Europe a rough idea of what the future holds for us."

12. Wide of Edinburgh Castle

16. Customer paying

17. SOUNDBITE (English) Nicola Laird, kiltmaker at family-run business "Nicolson Kiltmakers" Edinburgh:

"We are quite a specialised industry, if somebody wants a kilt then they will come to us anyway, so I personally don't think it will affect us, and I think there's too much scaremongering going on, so businesses are scared. But we don't know what's going to happen either way."

19. Buckle being stitched on to kilt

20. SOUNDBITE (English) Nicola Laird, kiltmaker at family-run business "Nicolson Kiltmakers" Edinburgh:

"Well, personally, I think we should leave. I wanted independence for Scotland, and I don't understand why the UK, they were so keen to keep us on, why they want to get out of Europe, so I definitely want to leave the European Union."

21. Close of "Made in Scotland" sign in shop

22. Tartan scarves in shop

27. SOUNDBITE (English) Laura Cram, Professor for European Politics, University of Edinburgh:

"They are very, very clear from all the parties, and there's also been a bit of a sense of, I feel like, that it is kind of embedded now that being in Scotland is part of being in the European Union, and that's become part of the narrative that is accepted by all the political leaders, so there's been very, very little challenge to it in the debate."

28. Exterior of Scottish Parliament

29. SOUNDBITE (English) Christina McKelvie, SNP (Scottish National Party) Member of the Scottish Parliament:

"Clearly for remaining within the EU, as long as that EU is reformed, and as long as that Scottish voice, that distinct Scottish voice, is heard within that European Union."

30. Parliament sign reading (English and Scottish) "Welcome to the Scottish Parliament"

31. SOUNDBITE (English) Christina McKelvie, SNP (Scottish National Party) Member of the Scottish Parliament:

"When the decision is made on the 23rd, on the 24th of June when we start to see the results of that and what that means for Scotland, then people would possibly seriously rethink where we were in 2014, and that could be, you know, that trigger for the people of Scotland to say 'no, enough, we want to be representing ourselves and, therefore, a second independence referendum could be in the offing."

There is strong support for remaining part of the European Union among Scottish voters, however a vote for a "Brexit" might trigger a new Scottish independence referendum, possibly leading to the break-up of the UK.

Numerous polls have shown that the majority of Scots favour remaining within the European Union.

Businesses including Scotch Whisky Distillers, small and large, are very supportive of the UK's membership of the European Union.

Scotch Whisky is one of Scotland's biggest exports, supporting about 40,000 jobs in the country.

But there are also those who are in favour of a Brexit, including Nicola Laird, a 41-year-old kiltmaker from Edinburgh, who doesn't think her business will be affected if Britain left the EU.

Others believe a British vote to leave the 28-member bloc in the upcoming referendum could galvanise Scotland's own independence movement.

Christina McKelvie, a Scottish National Party (SNP) Member of the Scottish Parliament, thinks a Brexit could potentially lead to the break-up of the United Kingdom.

Scots voted to remain part of the United Kingdom in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum by roughly a 10-point margin, but experts suggest a Brexit vote might shift hearts and minds in favour of independence.
