Scotland votes NO to independence

In a historic vote yesterday, Scottish citizens voted no in a 55%-45% margin to leave the United Kingdom.  After weeks of buildup the country decided to reject ending their 307 year union with England. Glasgow citizens voted mostly in favor of independence, while the remainder of the country favored remaining in an alliance with England, Wales and Northern Ireland.  The ballot referendum had a record 85% voter turnout, and the results of the voting calmed investors and stock markets around the world.
