Scotland has rejected independence, after the result in Fife - where 114,148 voted Yes and 139,788 No - made the result a mathematical certainty.

While Glasgow voted in favour of independence, the margin of victory was not large enough to give Alex Salmond and his campaign the momentum they need.

There were also wins for Yes in three of Scotland's 32 local authority areas - Dundee, West Dunbartonshire and North Lanarkshire.

First Minister Alex Salmond's deputy Nicola Sturgeon conceded defeat with a handful of results still to be declared.

The Deputy First Minister told the BBC there was a 'real sense of disappointment that we have fallen narrowly short of securing a Yes vote'.

Prime Minister David Cameron revealed on Twitter he had congratulated Alistair Darling, the leader of the cross party Better Together campaign.

Mr Cameron said: 'I've spoken to Alistair Darling - and congratulated him on a well-fought campaign.'

Scottish First Minister Mr Salmond tweeted: 'Well done to Glasgow and to the people of Scotland for such incredible support.'

SNP MP Pete Wishart said on Twitter: 'Obviously disappointed but congratulate the No campaign and will work with them and my fellow Scots to make my nation a better place.'

While there was a comfortable majority for Yes in Dundee, the turnout in the city was 78.8% - lower than many other parts of Scotland, indicating that the Yes campaign has not managed to get voters out in sufficient numbers.

The turnout in Glasgow was even lower at 75%, with 194,779 Yes votes (53.49%) and 169,347 No votes (46.51%).
