BBC and Sky News call a No vote in the Scottish independence referendum before dawn breaks
The UK’s main news broadcasters BBC News and Sky News called the Scottish independence for the No side at around 5am on the morning of 19 September.
At the time of calling, 24 out of 32 results had been declared with No sitting at 1,305,388 million votes and Yes 1,102,788 million votes. Better Together needed to take another 517,554 votes to secure victory.
Clackmannanshire was the first constituency to declare at 1.30am, and despite big wins for Yes in Dundee and Glasgow, the declaration of No votes across Scotland kept a consistent pattern before the news broadcasters called the result.
