After two years, during which the independence referendum has been the all-consuming context for political and economic decision-making in Scotland, the people have spoken.
While the result was a decisive vote for Scotland to remain in the UK, with 45 per cent voting Yes support for an independent Scotland is now at an all-time high.
In the weeks ahead the vote will be the subject of much analysis. From the information currently available it would appear that, in general terms, by large majorities the young voted Yes and the elderly voted No, the poor votes Yes and the rich No (the three local authority areas voting Yes are the three with the highest unemployment rates in Scotland).
