1-54.9% of the vote. Aberdeenshire, Perth and Kinross in the east acquired a no to a greater degree with a no to independence at over 60%, as did the south in Dumfries and Galloway, and the Scottish Borders. The centre showed the most voter diversity, with North Lanarkshire and Glasgow City voting at 50.1-54.9%, and regions surrounding Glasgow including South Lanarkshire and East Ayshire voting a no to independence at 50.1-54.9%. The east of the centre, Dundee was one out of three regions to vote for independence at the highest, at 55-59.9%. Given the sure domination of the SNP in the 2011 Scottish Parliament elections across the Scottish Highlands &Islands;, the Aviemore Area, the Outer Hybrides, and the Inner Hybrides, one would assume that these would be the areas which would show the most support for the Yes campaign. This was however contrariwise: the Scottish Highlands, and the Aviemore Area, as well as the inner and outer hybrides voted against independence. However, the south of Scotland, including Dumfries and Galloway, predominantly labour and conservative influenced, voted in favour of their parties ambitions, against independence. Voter mechanics led the Yes campaign to fail in regions of its influence, however the No campaign flourished in regions of their influence.
Notably, the most important reason why the No campaign won the Scottish Independence referendum, was due to an uncertainty over the currency that Scotland would take. Even though The Fiscal Commission group stated that Scotland could exist in a monetary union with the UK, George Osborne, the current Chancellor of the Exchequer, stated that there would be no currency union if Scotland left the union. This was not necessarily because it was a legalistic impossibility, but because a currency union with the UK would lead to a series of fundamental contradictions with the white paper issued by Alex Salmond; this would thus eliminate the logical prospects of a currency union.
