(19 Sep 2014) The first results in the Scottish independence referendum went to the No campaign early on Friday morning.
Chief Counting Officer Mary Pitcaithly announced in Edinburgh that the central district of Clackmannanshire had 19,036 No votes and 16,350 Yes votes.
The first of the 32 results saw a 54-46 percent No victory in Clackmannanshire.
Results from the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow were not expected for several hours.
The first numbers released early Friday were turnout totals for two regions - 84 percent and 89 percent - suggesting that the number of voters could hit a record high.
Voters turned out in unprecedented numbers for the independence referendum that could end the country's 307-year union with England.
After the polls closed late on Thursday, many Scots settled in to stay up all night in homes and bars, awaiting the result that could change their lives, shake financial markets and boost other independence movements worldwide.
