Euromillions winners Colin and Chris Weir have no regrets about financially backing the independent movement, and revealed they were ‘deeply disappointed’ by the final outcome.

The Largs couple have urged both sides to ‘come together as one nation’.

In a statement, the Weirs said: “Of course, we are deeply disappointed by the result. But the people of Scotland have made their decision and, as democrats, we accept the outcome. We have no regrets at all about our support for the Yes campaign in the last two years. As lifelong supporters of independence, we are very proud of what has been achieved.

“People from all sections of Scottish life have emerged in unprecedented numbers and articulated their aspirations for our country, some of them for the first time in their lives.

“Irrespective of the No vote, Scotland has shown overwhelmingly that she wants change - and politicians must ensure that is what happens next.

“For now, it’s time fo rus to all to come together as one nation, not two campaigns ,to work for the best possible future for Scotland. The people of this country expect and deserve no less.”
