Scotland has voted to stay in the United Kingdom, rejecting independence by a ten percentage point margin in a referendum that attracted a record turnout.

The votes have been tallied and the results are in: Scotland will remain a part of the United Kingdom.

Lynn Ferguson, a Scottish-born writer and storyteller with the public radio program The Moth, couldn't vote in yesterday's election, but if she could have, she says she would have voted for independence.

Ferguson joins Take Two for her reaction to the results of the vote.
