Scottish independence: Portree referendum debate round-up
Ahead of Scotland's 18 September independence referendum, BBC Scotland hosted a debate on Skye giving voters the chance to quiz politicians and commentators at the heart of the debate.
But the event wasn't just for the audience facing the panel - through social media, using the '#bbcindyref' hashtag, plus email and text - you told us what you thought.
Here are highlights from the on-air discussion, and the pick of what you said about our debate, from Portree.
Where: It's the biggest town on the island of Skye in the Inner Hebrides
Something interesting: There was one unexpected consequence of the opening of the Skye Bridge in October 1995 - it resulted in new residents setting up home on the island. Thanks to the crossing, the pine marten (a member of the weasel family) soon spread nine miles (15km) south and west from territory near the bridge. Apparently, pine martens aren't very good swimmers - they can't cope with the tides of the Inner Hebrides.
Keith Brown: The Scottish government's transport minister
Jenny Marra: Labour MSP at Holyrood
John Boyle: Scottish businessman and pro-Union backer
David Hayman: Actor and supporter of the Radical Independence campaign.
1. John Stoddart asked: "Why are people so focused on the financial effects? Is that all people care about now?"
2. Cameron Tallach asked: "Is pressure put on Scottish businesses to remain neutral in the independence debate tacit recognition that Independence may hurt businesses?"
3. Keith Mackenzie asked: "What prize is independence from Westminster if it is replaced by centralisation of powers to Edinburgh?"
4. Robbie Dempsey asked: "Would an independent Scotland be better placed to tackle poverty and inequality?"
5.Carole Inglis asked: "We are constantly told that an independent Scotland is a leap of faith. What certainties are there if we stay in the Union?"
6. Bryan Clark asked: "Are the BBC biased in their referendum coverage?"
That other thing
The referendum debate was the big show on BBC Two Scotland - but there was something big happening on BBC One too. World Cup watchers saw Brazil get walloped by Germany in the first semi final. Score at 90 minutes - 1-7!
And you told us how you were keeping up with the football and the debate...
@ElginMorayScot tweeted: Germany are 5-0 up, and I missed it listening to Jenny Mara!
@ChrisRonBurns tweeted: Game over! Might be able to watch the #WorldCup *and* #bbcindyref
@robmurray11 tweeted: Dilemma... #bbcindyref / @ScotlandTonight or #Bra vs #Ger #WorldCup

Victoria Craig tweeted:Jenny Mara has earned my respect with the most concise and valid points on #bbcindyref
Paul Renwick tweeted:John Boyle and David Hayman are a breath of fresh air on this panel. Passionate, insightful & most importantly not politicians. #bbcindyref
Donna emailed: "The downside of the SNP vs the Better Together campaign is that it means, as far as a prospective vision of an independent Scotland, the SNP is the only show in town. We have no idea what an independent Scotland might look like with any of the other parties at the helm."
TEXT: "Well done David Hayman - your comments have been so sensible and spot on! What a lively debate!"
TEXT (from Craig): "We aren't an occupied nation. We are united and not ruled. Mr Boyle has done well!"
TEXT: "Why do TV always have actors on the panel? They always speak rubbish. His world is fantasy as is SNP."
How the panel responded to Robbie Dempsey who asked whether an independent Scotland would be a better placed to tackle poverty and inequality.
Keith Brown: "Scotland is a very wealthy country and the idea that we can't, we shouldn't, we are too wee, we are going to be isolated - would we in Scotland have introduced the bedroom tax, introduced by the Labour party and kept by the Tories? We wouldn't have done that."
Jenny Marra: "I don't think so because there would not be the money to do it - there would be less money and all the independent economic analysis says that you need the money to do it - the sums do not add up."
John Boyle: "If we are going to tackle inequality we should more or less mandate companies to, over a period of time, move toward a £10 minimum wage. That can only be done where we take on take on these companies, global companies."
David Hayman: "If government is about the humane and creative and progressive management of the resources of a country for the betterment and well being of its people then definitely in an independent Scotland, where the priority is right and with the ridding of weapons of mass destruction, and the need to police this world, we can then put resources into eradicating poverty much faster and much more effectively then on a UK level."
