LONDON (Reuters) - Scottish businesswoman Marie Macklin voted for independence seven years ago. Now, she does not see it as a priority.

As the Scottish National Party (SNP) pushes for a second referendum after a repeat election victory this month, Macklin believes economic recovery is the real priority, especially for the fortunes of her struggling Scottish home town of Kilmarnock.
