| Description | Only a third of Scots believe the Lockerbie bomber should have been freed from prison last week, a poll commissioned by BBC News has suggested.
The ICM Research survey indicated almost three quarters thought Scotland's reputation was damaged by Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi's release.
But only 36% thought Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill should quit.
Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond said Mr MacAskill had shown "guts" in making a hard but correct decision.
Mr MacAskill announced on 20 August that Megrahi, who is terminally-ill with prostate cancer, would be freed on compassionate grounds and allowed to return to Libya.
