    Scotland Rejects Independence as U.K. Vows to Give It More Power

    "Scotland voted to stay in the U.K. in a referendum on independence, stepping back from a breakup of the 307-year-old union while wringing promises of more financial power from Prime Minister David Cameron.After a count through the night, 55.3 percent of Scottish voters supported the “no” campaign against 44.7 percent who backed independence. U.K. shares helped lead European equities to a 6 1/2-year high and the pound rose to the strongest level in two years against the euro after the Better Together campaign posted a wider margin of victory than opinion polls suggested. There was a record turnout of more than 90 percent in some of the 32 districts."

    This doesn't surprise me,the fallout would of been massive,they discovered oil off the northern scottish coast and no way was the u.k. going to let that go,the brits and scots would of had to get out of ulster and would of opened the door for the basque to do the same thing

    and plus any scot worth their weight left the country more then two hundred years ago leaving subservients and loyalist

    Funny thing is that Glasgow voted Yes by a generous margin.
