Scotland prepares for day of destiny
Scotland's decision day has arrived, with voters north of the border going to the polls today to determine if the country should remain part of the United Kingdom or not.
Salmond: This is our opportunity of a lifetime
First Minister Alex Salmond has said tomorrow's referendum is Scotland's "opportunity of a lifetime."
In his final speech ahead of the vote, Salmond said the reason the referendum was going ahead is because the Westminster politicians "thought they had it in the bag."
"They thought all they had to do was agree to see off Scotland and then it wouldn't matter, and therefore we can have no assurance that we would ever have such a chance again," he said.
"This is our opportunity of a lifetime and we must seize it with both hands".
