Scottish Votes Against Independence





Scotland will remain part of the United Kingdom after voting against independence in a historic
referendum.

After years of campaigning Alex Salmond's dream of breaking up the 307-year-old Union has been shattered.

Despite major Yes victories in Dundee and the nation's largest city Glasgow, the Better Together
campaign secured the majority it needed.



Shortly after the result was announced UK Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted: "I've spoken to Alistair Darling - and congratulated him on an well-fought campaign."

Labour MP Jim Murphy, who played a leading role in the Better Together campaign, told Sky News:
"We are going to have to make a success of the decision Scotland has made.
"While I'm delighted, there is no time or space for triumph and we have got to get on and offer that devolution package we offered and unite the
country around that."
