I'd expected the Yes voters to edge out the No ones. Still a very narrow margin.
Not surprisingly, Glasgow voted for independence.

In political and electoral terms this isnt "very narrow". 

Votes of 2m v 1.5m isnt "very narrow".

Still 45% is a very significant number of people. That's a large number of Scots who don't want to be a part of Britain.

This wasn't a vote for electing a new government, it was a vote for secession. 45% is huge when you think of that.
