I voted no and had people delete me on facebook. Atmosphere not great at work. Will Scotland ever be the same again? I fear another referendum I wanted to leave the EU but I may have to vote to stay in it to avoid another Union break up. I'm happy with the current powers of the Parliament. Not too fussed about anymore.
I said I'd move to England if we went alone but I now fear going down even for a visit people will think as I am scottish I was a yes voter.
Anyway I fear it will never be the same again but I fear having to do another vote for my country very soon.

I sensed a few things on Friday.A sense of disappointment and a burst bubble,what might have been.A missed once in a lifetime opportunity.
I also sensed relief.That things had retained their status quo.The leap of faith hadn't come to pass.
It really was a difficult question to answer.In all my days it was the hardest question I've ever faced.
Nor between Scots and the rest of the UK, 81% of whom wanted the Scots to vote "No". So with 55% of Scots voting No and 81% of the rest of the UK (opinion polls) wanting No, that means about 78% of the total UK electorate wanted to retain the Union. Even more importantly, all four Countries did.
Not a bad majority is that and I think it's an excellent basis for future harmony (haggling over devolution apart!).
He hasn't but his dream is over.
It will be the same today as it was last Wednesday. No change.
It was great on Friday in the pub, no bad atmosphere at all, quite the opposite.
It will be Sturgeon next, could it be any worse:)
Salmond was the worst. If he didn't get a currency union he had no other plans. Was so sure the EU would welcome Scotland with open arms if the CU went tits up.
The Scots have been let down by Salmond not Westminster, they actually allowed the Scots to have an indy ref.
A few people in George Square, who voted Yes, I haven't seen any people protesting anywhere else.
I bow to your greater knowledge and I hope it will be so, Woody.
What are you on about? It was Unionist thugs in George Square burning the Saltire, not Yes voters.
He's wrong. SNP have 5000 new members already, with more signing up every day. The young are disheartened and fear for their futures while the OAPs are happy that they still have their pensions.
Alex Salmond publicly accepted the outcome so that should be that, surely.
I wouldn't worry at all about visiting! ;-)
Remember the vast majority of us down here didn't want you all to leave any way
