Local MSP, Alasdair Allan, commented: "Only a couple of weeks ago we had a very successful Q&A session with Alex Salmond and Scottish Government Ministers which was absolutely packed out.
“I know that many people couldn't make it along due to it being a lunchtime meeting, so this Q&A event is an excellent opportunity for folk to come along, engage in the debate, and ask their questions about what a Yes vote will mean for the islands."
