This thread is for today.
Perhaps.
Polls open at 7:00 close at 10 - don't leave it too late (you know you want to vote).
Simple question, only two answers.

I'll miss the White Paper thread. It was fun even if it was full of trolls.

This is it. Today we have a chance to make real change happen in Scotland. Vote Yes.

Don't worry, it's still there.
And there'll be another one along tomorrow...

Twitter says queues at Glasgow polling stations.
How's Edinburgh?

Last night's Newsnight from Glasgow actually managed a decent debate: plenty of passion on both sides. What i found intriguing was the undecided voters: all of them were going towards Yes at the end of the programme.
Another undecided voter has decided today:

Small queue at my Edinb polling palace at 6.55, all the early-bird tennis fans! After all the discussion, it was sure nice to get to the voting.

The polling place at South Morningside Primary was the busiest I've seen it. Stark contrast to the European elections. I went in at 7.20. Passed a woman in bike kit coming out, and another bike was being locked up as I left.
It was busy, but efficient. It was also a bit quicker to fill in my view: there wasn't the usual long list of undesirable candidates to pick from. I made it in and out before the standlights on my dynamo lights ran down.
A camera crew was setting up as I left. One of many, I guess.

chdot "Twitter says queues at Glasgow polling stations. How's Edinburgh?"
I got to St Catherines Argyle just past 7 - very busy.
Passed 4 further polling stations en route to office, all busy except the one on Spylaw Road.
One observation is that BT have more and larger sandwich boards at the polling stations - in fact there was nothing from Yes at mine (perhaps too early).

I am off to Rome tomorrow very early - according to the BBC, the result may be declared while I am in mid air - sure I will get a flurry of good/bad news texts on arrival !!

@ERSScotland: Early morning steady footfall at Portobello Town Hall polling statin. Queues inside #indyrefQ http://t.co/rzCfq9Ook0"

No queues at Broomhouse, it'll be interesting to see how it looks at my one. For the Hollyrood elections the place was empty, one of the folk said there had only been a few people through all day. The EU elections were much busier, though from talking to the guys and some of the voters they were largely Eastern Europeans...

Pilrig Church had about a dozen people waiting or voting at 7.10 this morning. I think there was an early-bird glut because when I left the queue had vanished.

If I see even one other person at Shawhead Village hall other than the officials, I shall eat my Brooks saddle.
That said, we've got a tree voting 'No Thanks' I noticed yesterday

Moderate queues at Gillespie's at 7:40 - also with tv crew - I think from Japan. Heavier no presence than yes but I expect that to change through the day...

I went on the way to work, since our polling station on Lanark Rd is almost on my commute.
In the end I just couldn't face voting for another 300 years of the House of Lords, first past the post, bombing weddings in the middle east, poll tax / bedroom tax, privatising the NHS and all of that.
So yes from me.
I don't really believe it will happen, and if it doesn't, for the next 40 years whenever anything bad happens I fully intend to say "don't blame me, I voted for the other guy".

I faced a really difficult choice this morning. Two boxes in front of me, which to choose?
One only had scalding hot boiling water, the other a slow trickle of lukewarm water. I went with the slow trickle.
I really wish my work would sort out the plumbing in the changing room showers.
I'll be voting on my way home. It'll be "No" for me.

No queues at Hermitage Park, but a constant non-queueing flow of people. Two Yes-badged women holding dogs on leads inside the playground and one No-badged woman with a dog on a lead by the gate, pointing out that it's in the canteen rather than the hall this time.

A steady trickle of people at mine this morning. There were was a whole string of people standing outside with leaflets but I couldn't see which side they were on without standing and staring and I didn't really want to chat, I just wanted to get in and out.

Oh, and I feel dirty saying this but I do rather like the photo on the front of the Daily Mail.
Sorry.

No queues in Currie, but a steady flow of people when I voted on my way to work.

I voted early. by 7.10 there was a large queue at my polling station but judging by the shorter queues at the other three stations in the room it was probably because so many irregular voters were turning up and thought they could just join any queue.
So Andy Murray and Kim Jong-un now fit in the same pigeon hole. Those without a vote who want to make other people pay to end the union.

No queue at roseburn. Some exit pollers and a No Thanks man who I had a pleasant enough chat with.
I'll be in the airport down to London to further the democratic republic of Scotland's non-oil based wealth when the result is announced. At least there is a bar there.

Sandwich boards 3:2 for No in Gorgie this morning.

I thought for a moment there I was going to have to eat my saddle after all as there was a big crowd of people outside the village hall this morning but it turned out to be the senior citizens club waiting for the coach to take them to Silloth (I think for a day trip, rather than a pre-emptive run for the border). The usual hushed stillness prevailed inside the polling station.
Someone has spray painted 'vote no' on the road into the village though. I was surprised by that, the graffiti aspect of it anyway.
