Breaking News: Scotland to Remain Part of the UK

The referendum on Scottish independence has ended with 55% of the electorate voting to remain part of the UK (over 2 million votes). So no need for last minute visas to a new country! The disappointed 'Yes' campaign received 1.6 million votes but only 2 of Scotland's 32 regions voted in favour of seperation.

It will be interesting when we visit Edinburgh to ask locals about the outcome. With over 85% of people voting, it seems everyone has an opinion. Let's record some interviews.

The Referendum on Scottish Independence is Today!

People living in Scotland will go to the polls today to decide whether to stay in the United Kingdom or become an independent country. Voting has been brisk with people queuing to cast their votes. It is predicted that over 80% of eligible votes will vote. Anyone age 16 or above can vote. Results are expected by the morning of Friday 19 September.

By the time we travel to Edinburgh, we may see the re-birth of a country.
