Leader of the Scottish National party says he will stand down in November when a new leader of the party will be chosen
Alex Salmond concedes defeat in the independence referendum after
Scotland votes to remain part of the United Kingdom by 55% to 45%. More
than 3.6 million votes were cast in the referendum, a number Salmond
calls a 'triumph for democracy'. The first minister calls on the British
government to rapidly meet its promise of more powers for Edinburgh.
Scotland votes no: joy and despair after a long night – in pictures
Excitement, disappointment and exhaustion for campaigners and voters
alike in Edinburgh and Glasgow as the counts come in and the result
becomes clear
