The Scottish government has said it still considers independence "very likely"

The SNP has warned there is an "unrealistic and misleading" assessment of the UK's future.

It said a "precise and accurate assessment" of the country's future is needed to make the case for independence.

But it also claimed it was more likely to see some part of the UK as British rather than Scottish.

It is understood the SNP is due to deliver its speech at the Scottish government in Glasgow soon.

Earlier this month the government said it would ask it to take an "unprecedented step" to give voters "a clear picture" of the future of Scotland.

The government said a simple, simple answer to the question could give it a "clear and present" picture.

A senior government spokesman said it was in "advanced talks" with "all parties" for a "positive outcome".

It is understood the government has been in talks with the Scottish government over its plans for the UK to remain in the European Union or EU Single Market.

The government said it would consult on the referendum results in August and on the Scottish government's future plans for the UK to remain in the EU and the single market.

Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mark Drake, said: "The UK Government is proud of our role in helping make Scotland's future the best for Scotland.

"We know that we have a strong economic relationship with the rest of the UK and we look forward to working with the Scottish Government to achieve that future."

Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland, Mr Drake said he accepted the government had asked the Scottish government to give voters a clear picture of which part of the UK was British.

"They said this was not our view, this was our view," he added.

In a statement after the Scottish government announcement, Mr Drake said: "There are two options, or there will be two choices, or the whole of the UK is British."
