    By Emily Goddard
    March 2 - Alistair Carmichael, the Scottish Secretary, has warned that Scotland's independence would break up "a host of great British institutions" including its Olympic teams.


    His comments come just 200 days ahead of September's crucial independence referendum as he urged voters to make sure they are well informed and insisted that nobody could afford to be complacent as "independence would have far-reaching consequences".

    "The referendum is fast approaching and that means it's time for everyone to turn their attention to how they intend to vote," Carmichael added.
