The Scottish campaign for a Remain vote in the EU referendum has ruled out a negative campaign.

At the relaunch of their campaign Scotland Stronger in Europe stressed they would be focusing on the positives of a Remain vote in June's referendum and not the potential pitfalls of Brexit.

National Union of Students Scotland president Vonnie Sandlan, who serves on the group's advisory board, said the campaign will be "project cheer" and not "project fear".

Sandlan said: "I think in Scotland we are playing the 'project cheer' card and we are talking really positively on what the benefits are of remaining within the EU.

"We will continue to do that over the next six weeks and two days until the vote."

She also believes turnout will be "vital" for her side's success in June. It is widely expected that could suffer as the referendum has been largely obscured by the Holyrood election until this week.

She said: "It's absolutely vital that actually on the day on June 23 people turn out and vote. I think it is really easy to take it for granted that the referendum will go one way or the other but nothing is guaranteed unless people actually go and vote on the day, so it is hugely important."

Earlier on Tuesday, the group's senior spokesman, John Edwards, also stressed voter turnout as key to their success.

Edwards said:"The referendum looks like being extremely close UK-wide, and we are putting all our supporters and activists on alert that the votes of the people of Scotland could make the difference in achieving a Remain result across the UK.

"The polls in Scotland suggest a very large potential Remain vote - stretching across the political spectrum and bridging both sides of the independence debate - and the turnout may also be higher in Scotland than south of the border.

"We are taking nothing for granted, the argument must be won in Scotland as elsewhere in the UK, but the potentially decisive impact of Scottish votes is one factor that we believe will mobilise people to back our positive campaign and vote Remain on 23 June."

A poll in Tuesday's Daily Record put the remain campaign on 76% among Scottish voters while Leave polled 24%.

Scottish Vote Leave director and former Labour MP Tom Harris is confident voters will move towards his campaign over the next few weeks.

Harris said: "When they realise that Scottish taxpayers give £1.5bn a year to the EU, when they are confronted with the reality of the pressure our public services will be under after more years of unlimited immigration from the EU, they will be receptive to the arguments for a Leave vote."
