Most people in Scotland want marriage to stay between a man and a woman, latest polling shows.

A majority (55 per cent) agree that “marriage should continue to be defined as a life-long exclusive commitment between a man and a woman”. Only 38 per cent disagree.

And half of all Scots want the matter to be decided by referendum, only 39 per cent want to leave it to MSPs. Support for a referendum is even higher amongst young people.
