Alex Salmond: 'Team Scotland against team Westminster'
The Scottish first minister has dismissed the efforts of David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg to keep Scotland in the UK.
Speaking at a pro-independence event in Edinburgh, Alex Salmond described the three politicians as "Team Westminster".
And he suggested their primary concern was keeping their own jobs.
It came as Mr Cameron, Mr Miliband and Mr Clegg travelled to Scotland ahead of next week's independence referendum,
Recent opinion polls have suggested the referendum race is now neck and neck.
Mr Salmond said: "Today what we have got is an example of Team Scotland against Team Westminster.
"The breadth and reach of the 'Yes' campaign is there for all to see - it is not about the Scottish National Party, the Green Party or political parties. It goes right through the whole sector of Scottish society
"What we are seeing today on the other side is Team Westminster jetting up to Scotland for the day because they are panicking in the campaign.
"Our campaign for example has the key test on jobs. What we are interested in is having a powerhouse parliament that can create jobs for Scotland. What Team Westminster seem to be concerned about is their own jobs."
But Mr Salmond again stressed that the "Yes" campaign was not taking anything for granted with just over a week to go until the referendum on 18 September.
The first minister said: "For the last months, and certainly for the last weeks of the campaign proper, we are engaged in a conversation with our fellow citizens.
"We don't make any assumptions about the poll next week, but nonetheless I think the evidence would indicate that more and more of our fellow citizens are becoming convinced by the arguments being put forward by their fellow citizens in the 'Yes' campaign. The movement to Scotland is decisively towards 'Yes'".
With momentum apparently gathering behind the pro-independence campaign, the unionist parties have been revising their plans for more powers to be handed to Holyrood in the event of a 'No' vote.
Weekly exchangesOn Tuesday, Mr Cameron and Mr Miliband announced they would not be taking part in their weekly exchanges at Prime Minister's Questions, saying instead they would be heading to Scotland where they will be "listening and talking to voters" about the choice they face next week.
In an article in Wednesday's Daily Mail, Mr Cameron renewed his plea to Scottish voters to remain part of the UK.
He said a "brighter future for Scotland rested not only on staying in the UK, but also on having significant new powers" adding that the new timetable would give Scots the "clarity" they needed when considering which way to vote.
He added: "The United Kingdom is a precious and special country. That is what is at stake. So let no-one in Scotland be in any doubt: we desperately want you to stay; we do not want this family of nations to be ripped apart."
All three main Westminster parties have now backed a plan of action spearheaded by former prime minister Gordon Brown, which they have said would see work begin on the handover of new powers to the Scottish Parliament on 19 September, the day after the referendum.
