Proud to be Scottish, but I hope the rest of them see sense and stay in Britain. Scotland would be much the poorer for being a completely separate country, and I don't mean in an economic sense.

I'd like one of the big ones to call next. Then I can go to bed.

It's a transient effect though. Bookies won't take a bet on no. The odds at the bookies have been overwhelming in favour of No all week.
