our scotland editor sarah smith sent this report from perth. welcome to scotland.ndependence protesters are determined to be heard, as the tory leadership race arrives north of the border. at the nearby scottish game fair, voters were considering how the contest could affect scotland. borisjohnson would be more likely to lead to an independent scotland in the shorter term. why? just because he is rather outspoken, and to a certain extent, he's the antithesis of what people in scotland are looking for as a politician. i think boris is not popular in scotland. why is that? why is boris not popular in scotland? i think he's too flippant. i don't think he's serious enough for the scots. he's not down—to—earth enough. despite the foxhounds, not everyone here is a hunt fan. i hate to say it, but probably boris. why? oh, gosh, i don't know. because he has more personality, i think. borisjohnson has got eager support from several scottish tory mps, who clearly don't think him or his brexit plans are a threat to the union. my first priority is obviously the union, and that
