Scotland has rejected independence in a referendum that left the centuries-old United Kingdom intact but paved the way for a major transfer of powers away from London. Despite a surge in nationalist support in the final fortnight of the campaign, the No secured 55.30 per cent of the vote against 44.70 per cent for the pro-independence Yes camp. After a campaign that fired up separatist movements around the world, turnout was 84.6 per cent, officials said - the highest ever for an election in Britain.
