The economic case for Scottish independence is weaker than ever, the Scottish Conservatives have said.
Leader Douglas Ross made the claim after a report from the Institute for Government said Scotland would face tough fiscal choices in the first years of independence due to high deficits.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said last week that the SNP has not done an economic analysis of the impact of independence on Scotland, adding that the estimates put forward ahead of the 2014 vote are now out of date.
