Both sides in the referendum debate have said they are working for every vote on the final weekend before Scotland goes to the polls.
Yes Scotland campaigners claimed their private canvassing showed "the votes are there for a 'Yes' majority".
However, Better Together said the "No" vote was "holding up", saying it would target 500,000 undecided voters.
The latest opinion polls ahead of the 18 September referendum have suggested the vote is too close to call.
Three polls have put the "No" campaign in the lead, while one has put the pro-independence "Yes" campaign ahead.
The latest poll of polls collating the six most recent surveys - carried out between 9 and 12 September and excluding "don't knows" - puts the "No" campaign on 51% and the "Yes" campaign on 49%.
'On a knife-edge'The pro-independence Yes Scotland campaign has not revealed the number of people it has talked to during its private canvassing, but claimed to have achieved a higher return than ever before.
Chief executive Blair Jenkins said: "We know if we work hard in the next few days, we know the votes are there for a 'Yes' majority.
"We know we will win, if we work really hard. The information we have would tell us that there is a 'Yes' vote there.
"We have to make sure we get it out, we have to make sure we get every last vote out."
However, Better Together leader Alistair Darling said the "No" campaign's own canvass returns "are good and our vote is holding up".
Elsewhere in the campaign:- A former head of the British Army, Lord Dannatt, told the Sunday Telegraph that a "Yes" vote could be "letting down" the Scottish soldiers who "died to keep Northern Ireland in the United Kingdom".
- Artists including Franz Ferdinand, Amy Macdonald and Mogwai are due to perform at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh in a concert in support of independence.
- Elsewhere in Edinburgh, supporters of Better Together will be photographed from the air in what the campaign has called "a big patriotic 'No'." The event was due to take place on Arthur's Seat, but has been moved.
Mr Darling added: "I have said since last weekend, we will win, and I know that because I can see our returns. We will win, be in no doubt about it."
He said the campaign would target "five key questions" on jobs, currency, pensions, prices and public services.
"I believe there are five questions uppermost in the minds of the 500,000 voters we believe are still to make up their minds," Mr Darling said.
Better Together campaign director Blair McDougall said polls showed the referendum vote was "on a knife-edge".
Better Together published a poll on Saturday suggesting 53.5% opposed independence and 46.5% backed it, when undecided voters were excluded.
The telephone poll, commissioned by Better Together from pollsters Survation, reached 1,044 respondents, with an effective sample size of 927.
Conducted between 10 and 12 September, it also pointed to a very high turnout, with 93% of voters surveyed saying they are certain to vote.
Another poll for the Observer newspaper, gave the "No" campaign a six point lead - 53% to the pro-independence campaign's 47%.
And a new Sunday Times poll - conducted by Panelbase - puts the voters who intended to vote "No" on 50.6% while the "Yes" campaign was on 49.4%.
However, an ICM poll for the Sunday Telegraph has suggested Scotland could become independent, putting the "Yes" camp in the lead. Excluding undecided voters it found "Yes" to be on 54% and "No" on 46%.
The poll was carried out between 10 and 12 September and had a sample size of 705 - smaller than many of the other polls.
A referendum on whether Scotland should become independent is to take place
- People resident in Scotland will be able to take part in the vote, answering the "Yes/No" question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?"
- The referendum will take place on Thursday, 18 September 2014
- Go to the BBC's Scotland Decides page for analysis, background and explainers on the independence debate.
Campaigning on the last weekend as been lively with thousands taking to the streets on Saturday to support both sides.
The campaigning followed interventions in the debate by businesses raising concerns about independence, which Yes campaigners claimed was "orchestrated" by the UK government.
Meanwhile, businessman John McGlynn, who founded Airlink car parks, has said he will vote "Yes" because an offer of more powers for Scotland from the No side had come too late.
