Scotland prepares for day of destiny
Scotland's decision day has arrived, with voters north of the border going to the polls today to determine if the country should remain part of the United Kingdom or not.
Darling: Poll shows 'every vote matters' for Scotland

Darling said:
A shock poll result put support for independence ahead for the first time, with less than two weeks to go until polling day.
