As a Scot living in Scotland I took great pride in voting "Yes". We need a fairer society being able to raise our own money rather being given a hand-out each year from Westminster. At the moment we hand over all our money, and a formula based on population and landmass, decides how much we get.
Over 90% of those eligible to vote registered and as said previously the turn-out was around 85%. No guns, no fights, no police, no army.
The 16 and 17 year olds were one of the most informed groups with special debates being laid on to allow them to participate.
I could go on at length but will give my typing finger a rest.
