Scotland has rejected independence, with 55% of voters choosing to keep the United Kingdom together in a referendum with a turnout in excess of 80%.
Timetable for the referendum on Scottish independence on 18 September, including the expected time for the results of the vote.
The polls opened at 07:00 this morning for the Scottish people to vote on whether Scotland should remains in the United Kingdom or become an independent nation.

As voting day looms for the Scottish referendum to determine independence, accusations of media bias by the BBC in favour of the union are coming thick and fast.
