Live - Scottish Referendum

The most important vote in Scotch history is under way today.  With just over 4,000,000 Scotch people registered to vote and around 12 expected to actually show up at the polling booths, a very close fight is expected.  

Our Scotch reporter, Tartan McHaggis, is live on the scene all day:

10:00:

We've been here since 6am this morning, wandering around Edinburgh and trying to find people who were going to vote.  We've had little success.  

The problem has been the lack of media coverage.  Neither Alex Salmond nor David Cameron have said much at all about the issue to the Scotch people.  We'll update you if we can find a voter.

11:42:

We have found two voters in Edinburgh.  Apparently, journalists are not allowed into any of the polling stations so we cannot say what went on inside but suffice to say, they went in looking all sad and Scottish and came out looking even worse.

We're going to have a smoke and some coffee now, and will report back if anything happens.

We saw a small ginger cat chasing a squirrel through the park, it was incredibly cute.

14:14:

The fifth and final registered voter from Edinburgh has gone into the polling station just moments ago. We'll try and nab him before the BBC do when he comes out again.

14:16:

We listened in and transcribed the BBC Interview with David McAngus, here's what was said:

BBC Scotland Correspondant James Cook:

JC: David, how did it feel today to have a say in the future of Scotland.

DM: *incomprehensible*

JC: I'm sure.  Do you feel like your vote could be the one that makes the difference?

DM: *incomprehensible*

JC: Completely.  How are you going to cope with the wait until tomorrow morning to find out the results?

DM: *incomprehensible*

JC: Laughs Well, i certainly agree with you there! This is James Cook, for BBC Scotland.

As you can see, the buzz of excitement among voters is like no other and this is truly a historic day for Scotland.  Voting in Edinburgh seems to be finished so we'll pass over to our Glaswegian Correspondent who will update the blog in around an hours time.
