Scotland's Finance Secretary John Swinney is at the count in Perth and Kinross.

He said: "At this stage it looks as if Better Together is ahead, I would accept that, but we need to wait to see all of the work that is going on on the tables to see exactly how the vote is going to separate between the two counts.

"I think we have to be really careful about making judgements based on the three declarations that have taken place.

"The gap between the two positions is about 13,000 votes. These are three relatively small local authority areas. there are much bigger votes to be cast in other parts of the country. It is a very early stage in the night."
