BBC Scotland is appealing for members of the public to join its audience for a debate on the future of Scotland.

The television special will take place on Sunday, 27 May - two days after First Minister Alex Salmond announces details of his "yes" campaign.

Both the Scottish and UK governments have held consultations into the issues surrounding the referendum.

SNP leader and First Minister Alex Salmond has named autumn 2014 as his preferred date to hold the vote.

The venue for the debate, featuring a panel of politicians and experts, will be BBC Scotland's Glasgow headquarters at Pacific Quay.
