Will there be any celebrations in Scotland if there's a no vote in September?

I know many people will vote yes but for the ones who vote yes and keep more quiet will there be any celebrations like a street party like seen in the queens jubilee to celebrate being British? I expect it will go down quietly with a few bits on the news and that's all but I'd like to see something to celebrate as staying in the UK would be a historical decision?

that would mean someone from Northern Ireland is British and someone from an independent Scotland in Great Britain wouldn't be
If Scotland goes independent it's no longer British other than being in the British Isles. It can't be part of a United Kindgom.
They would be British as Scotland makes up a large part of Britain. The United Kingdom is political and Britain is geographical.
They would still be people who live in Great Britain, in my eyes a Scot will always be more British than myself regardless of political descriptions.
Yes, the name of the country is the USA, American is just the description that the country chose to call its citizens, it doesn't mean that others in North America can't use it, another example is how Spain and Portugal are both in Iberia.
The Southern Irish aren't British.
yes but they don't live in an island called Great Britain and the British Isles term is mostly not welcome in Rep.of Ireland anyway
yes and noone outside of Ireland think that County Donegal are Ulstermen but it doesn't change the fact that they are. Sometimes you have to ignore what people think.
ignore missed the point.
They are politically British but in my opinion a Scot will always be more British than someone who lives in a rock south of Spain
Yes given that I live on the land that my Irish ancestors actually lived on
Celebrate a home counties Tory government that Scots did not vote for or want? I hope we get another rancid 18 year Tory government again and if you "unionists" dare to complain about it, DON'T, BECAUSE YOU ALLOWED IT!
Really? I love a gud partaidh! Horo geallach...! I don't think you are a proper Scot, :P
Hehe..
Maybe they should have a celebration when no is given as the verdict, with DC as the MC, live at the apollo, might make interesting telly...!
Yep, I feel the same, and it does boil my blood at times at the prospect..Folk dont seem to be able to seperate the SNP from the independence issue...Yes supporters are from all political backgroumds, all classes and walks of life..I am not an SNP supporter, although they have done some good things for Scotland it has to be said..I am a democratic socialist at heart.
Case in point. Frankly I'd rather see David Cameron step down following a "Yes" vote.
