Some interesting facts about this vote:

* 16 & 17 year olds were allowed to vote in this referendum, although they aren't normally able to vote in British elections.

* Turnout was extremely high, 80-90%.

* Anyone who lived in Scotland past a certain date (I believe) could vote, even people who were English or otherwise not-Scottish. Makes sense, in a way - if you live there it's your country too.

* The opinion polling always had "No" in the lead up until the very end, but there was some suspicion that the polls were inaccurate. I guess not!

As an expatriate Scot, hopefully this results in some additional devolved powers for the Scottish government.
