First post on these threads! I voted (No) at about 8.30, quiet and very friendly atmosphere. Maybe FB has over-exaggerated the talk of societal breakdown 
.
Anyway I have a question, apologies if it's answered in another thread. People have been talking about negotiations in the event of a Yes vote, and how AS will be rather, err, ineffective. But what about the 2015 General Election? Would Scotland still vote in it? If so, someone else could be FM at that point couldn't they? I might even vote for Gordon Brown after last night!
Like Rose a few pages back, I also discovered a surprise No voter today, which has made me feel much better. It might not be enough to swing the vote, but I feel a little calmer. I'm also touched by all the FB messages from my expat friends wishing Scotland good luck.
One final thought, on non-residents voting. I can sort of see both sides, but the one that swung it for me is my former boss from when I briefly lived abroad. Scots born, he hasn't lived here for 20 years, or contributed a penny to the economy. He is not invested in any way, nothing will change for him whichever way it goes. But he posts about 5 times a day about this wonderful opportunity, how we should vote with hope not fear (awful theft of a wonderful Mandela quote), not be downtrodden, etc etc; but most tellingly he took part in a debate in his small overseas island as the Yes supporter, and made a comment about "it's not about how much tax you pay in the next few years". I thought that was kind of rich coming from someone who hasn't paid tax in so long. 
My thought was "thank god he doesn't get a vote" because he can afford the luxury of idealism, misguided as it may be. Shame you can't eat it though :(. All that said, I do think Scots living in the rest of the UK should have been allowed to vote, as they do have an interest in the outcome.
Tomorrow, I hope for quiet acceptance on either side.
