Scottish independence referendum results thread (Sept 18, 2014)

And how soon before Scotland votes again?

According to this site, this vote is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  There likely won't be another such referendum on independence for a long time to come if they vote tonight to remain with the United Kingdom.

Even Alex Salmond's home electorate in Aberdeenshire voted 'no'...

If we're talking another referendum in case London either goes back on its word on devolution max, or devolves too few powers to the Scottish Parliament to satisfy either the nationalists or the unionists, I imagine that Scotland will stick with its 700-year anniversary pattern.  With 1314 out of the way, here are some possibilities:

1325: first year the Parliament of Scotland convened

1328: King Edward II signs Treaty of Northampton acknowledging Scottish independence under the rule of King Robert the Bruce (Edward reneged on it later upon Robert's death)

1341: Taking advantage of English distraction with the Hundred Years War, King David II (King Robert's son and heir) returns from exile in France to claim the Scottish throne, securing Scotland's independence

So perhaps 2028 seems most likely.
