'Remarkable' turnout

Posted at 02:10

The high voter turnout is becoming one of the stories of the evening so far at the Ingliston central count.

Lib Dem peer Lord Wallace says the 83% turnout in his former Orkney constituency is "remarkable", given turnout at elections there never really got above about 67%.

Convincing win

Posted at 02:13

A very convincing win for "No" in Orkney - no surprise there, as it's solid Liberal Democrat country. There were two spoiled ballot papers.

Close in Inverclyde

Posted at 02:20

The turnout is 87%, which is quite phenomenal for this area. The vote is neck and neck and could come to the last vote here.

The "Yes" campaign were more confident earlier in the evening but they are perhaps less ebullient now. They have been fighting for every vote and it appears to be very close here.

Edinburgh count

Posted at 02:25

This is quite a hefty count to go through so it could be 05:00 before we get the result. There are a few worried faces within the "Yes" camp.

I have spoken to a few people here who believe it could be as much as 60% for "No" and 40% for "Yes".

Stirling count

Posted at 02:26

Johanna Boyd, Labour leader of Stirling Council has predicted a victory for "No" in the area - greater than the 54% recorded in neighbouring Clackmannanshire.

She said recent reports of a narrowing of the polls had had the effect of persuading undecided voters to turn out.

Stirling recorded one of the highest proportions of electors casting their ballot: 90.1%.

Fife count

Posted at 02:38

What they are saying here is that it is too early to say with any certainty.

On behalf of the "No" campaign, Thomas Docherty, the MP for Dunfermline, says he is fairly confident everything is going in their favour and it looks as if Fife will vote "No" this evening.

That is based on sample counts from areas like Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes that they thought would go in favour of "Yes" but are showing growing evidence of a "No" vote.
