Scots are more concerned about their finances following the Brexit vote than those in the rest of the UK, a study has found.

Aviva's Family Finances Report found the level of concern in Scotland is 12% higher than the rest of the UK.

The company found 22% of Scots said they had been concerned about their finances before the referendum, a figure which rose to 47% in the aftermath of the vote to leave the EU.

The level of concern over personal finances in the rest of the UK after the Brexit vote is at 35%.

The research also looked at how millenials, those aged 18 to 35, are planning for their future financially.

Almost three quarters, 73%, of Scottish millenials are relying on a one-off event such as a family inheritance or a promotion at work, it found.

Nearly one in five, 19%, said they are hopeful of winning the lottery as a way to help them financially.

Household debt in Scotland was found to be £8,100 lower than the UK average, but average monthly household income was 7% lower.

Across the UK pre-Brexit, Aviva found families' financial outlooks had improved throughout the year. However concern had increased post-Brexit.

Louise Colley, customer propositions director, Aviva said: "The financial situation for families has shown encouraging signs of improvement recently, with both incomes and savings levels now standing at their highest level since 2010.

"This has been buoyed by record low levels of unemployment, which looks to have given a boost to families across the income spectrum.

"That said, income inequalities persist across different family groups, and the family purse has also been affected by a simultaneous rise in levels of household debt in the last year.

"With the economic outlook more uncertain in light of Brexit, families need be doubly sure they are able to manage their commitments effectively in the coming months ahead."

For its tracker survey of 18 to 55 year olds, Aviva spoke to 2276, with a weighted number of 203 being Scottish.

For its research on millenials, Aviva spoke to 2843 people, 255 were in Scotland.
