Americans outraged at the release of the Lockerbie bomber are being urged to boycott Scottish products, including Scotch Whisky - an industry worth over £3 billion a year.

The call comes from a newly set-up American Web site which calls the release of al Megrahi by the Scottish government an "outrageous miscarriage of justice and a betrayal of the victims' families."

It will put more pressure on the ruling party in Scotland, the SNP, which decided to free al Megrahi, and which today is being forced to justify the decision to a specially convened meeting of the Scottish Parliament.

Connect the World tonight at 2000 GMT will follow the Scottish debate and examine the possible effects of a boycott of Scottish goods and services. What's your view? Is the boycott call a gross over-reaction, or a justified response to a major blunder by Scotland's political leaders?

Will you consider giving up Scotch? Send us your thoughts, and we'll use them as part of our coverage tonight.
