Around 50 per cent of voters who support Scottish independence are also in favour or the country becoming a republic.
There is "little doubt" the monarchy enjoys less support in Scotland than elsewhere in the UK, the country's top polling expert has said.
Both surveys found that 45 per cent of voters in Scotland were in favour of the monarchy continuing, 36 per cent for a republic, and 19 per cent didn't know or didn't back either option. Curtice added: "The evidence suggests that retaining the monarchy would be a relatively popular if far from consensual outcome in the event of independence – at least so long as the post-Elizabethan monarchy retains the crown’s current level of popularity and if it were to emphasise its Scottish roots rather than its British connections."
