Almost 10,000 people have donated more than £1 million to the campaign to keep Scotland in the United Kingdom.
The Better Together organisation published details on cash it has received since launching in June last year, with 10 single donations amounting to £891,000.
Oil trader Ian Taylor handed over £500,000 of the £1,118,451 total, saying he was “delighted to be in a position to help” the campaign which is being spearheaded by former chancellor Alistair Darling.
Donations classed as ‘category one’ those over £7,500 also came from author CJ Sansom who gave £161,000 and engineering entrepreneur Alan Savage giving £100,000.
Others included a donation of £25,000 from Douglas Flint, who is chairman of HSBC holdings, and £10,000 from the late Gordon Baxter, of Baxters Food Group.
A further 27 people gave amounts between £500 and £7,500, resulting in a total of £54,066. The bulk of the donors gave under £500, with 9,464 people handing over £173,385 an average of £18.26 per person.
Blair McDougall, campaign director, said: “We have not received a penny from political parties. Every penny we have raised, we have raised ourselves from supporters of our cause.
“Ten thousand donations is a good start, and we have plans to raise far more as we fight for the future of our country, working with the people behind Barack Obama’s grassroots fundraising drive.”
A spokesman for Yes Scotland, the pro-independence campaign group, said it would be releasing its figures on donations soon.
He added: “We believe the appropriate position is that both campaigns should agree that any donations above £500 the legally recognised level over which money given becomes a ‘donation’ should come only from those registered to vote in Scotland’s referendum. Yes Scotland is sticking firmly to that.”
