Scottish independence referendum results thread (Sept 18, 2014)

Scattered reports of what the postal votes look like are coming through from parts of central Scotland. No idea about the accuracy, but the rumours are No-ish. Take with as much salt as is consumed in the average bowl of porage.

That's what I've read as well.  The Daily Record cites Yes supporters saying that those are mostly Tory voters.  I'm not sure about that, though.

How in the world would that happen!?

Well, to be fair, there's probably only about 32 Tory voters.

Ballots all over the heath!

"Caithness ballot boxes held up by 1.5 hours because of an accident on the A9 at Berriedale Braes blackspot."

I await the allegations of MI5 involvement shortly...

Extremely high turnout is potentially good news for "Yes" I would think?

Not really... this isn't like the US where high turnout supports 'change' ... this has more of a historic element to it.

The turnout in Dundee City is 78.8%

Wasn't that supposed to be a Yes stronghold?

That's pretty sluggish turnout for an urban area.
