More from our live updates here:
The polls are now closed and, within the night, the United Kingdom could be missing its north. Scotland is voting to determine their independence. The polls are razor thin. What will happen? Stay here and find out with our live updates!

YouGov Scotland

10:32 GMT +1: YouGov says an almost landslide victory for NO, with 54% of voters voting to keep Scotland a part of the United Kingdom. But this is, at best, an educated guess.

10:30 GMT +1: Reporters on the ground are reporting near 100% turnout.

10:23 GMT +1: Apparently, YouGov will release their best, educated guesses on the referendum within a few minutes. It's tough to know because there is a complete lack of exit polling in this vote. Then again, exit polling isn't the most accurate thing in the world. I guess we'll see what they say.

10:00 GMT +1: Polls are now CLOSED. Let the counting begin!

9:39 GMT +1- Somehow, CNN is reporting that "110% of Voters" voted in a recent poll of theirs. Okay then.

7:50 GMT +1- That's right: if you're 16, you can vote in Scotland. Go do it if you haven't already!

7:07 GMT +1- Just so you all know, the local polls close at 10 o'clock.
