As it became clear that Scotland had voted against independence, the front page of Britain’s Sun newspaper declared “Reunited Kingdom.” <br /><br />But just how united with the rest of the UK are Scots feeling today?<br /><br />Amongst those who wanted independence there is bitter disappointment at the result. <br /><br />One campaigner told euronews: “I am devastated by the count today, and I think people actually horribly will find out in a few month that they have been lied to.”<br /><br />For those who wanted to remain a part of the Union there is a sense that this is not the end of the story.<br /><br />“Independence never goes away, you can never kill independence, but if we got, last time I checked it was 10 percent, it might have gone down, but yes I think we have a large enough majority we can put this to bed for at least 15 or 20 years,” said a pro-Union supporter.<br /><br />Now it will be down to Westminster to keep to its promises to give Scotland more control over taxation and social benefits. A new draft law is expected to be drawn up by January 2015.<br /><br />“This is not minor, this is going to be a major structural change of the UK’s constitutional structure,” explained Dr Jan Eichhorn, Professor of Public Policy at Edinburgh University.<br /><br />“That has to follow if this is meant to be lasting and not resulting in further independence movements,” he added. <br /><br />On the day, Scotland opted for reform rather than revolution, but with almost 85 percent voter turnout, Scots have engaged with politics as never before.<br /><br />Elsewhere in the UK there are calls for greater autonomy for the regions. <br /><br />If Westminster hopes the ‘No’ vote is the end of the chapter, it may be mistaken.
