Better Together campaign leader Alistair Darling
Scottish National Party First Minister Alex Salmond praised the 86% turnout, saying: Thank you to Scotland for 1.6m votes for Scottish independence. We know that there is going to be a majority for the 'No' campaign.
"Scotland has by majority decided not, at this stage to become an independent country. This was a substantial vote for Scottish independence and the future of this country.
"The process by which we have made our decision as a nation reflects enormous credit to Scotland. This has been a triumph for the democratic process and for participation in politics".
