A Family of Nations


The historic referendum result is in, with a fairly convincing NO vote for Scottish independence. After all the hype and razamataz of electioneering, the people of Scotland stared reality in the face and decided to remain part of the family that forms the United Kingdom. Scotland and for that matter the UK have always punched above their weight, and it seemed to me that when the World is showing signs of falling apart for Scotland to add to that process was a step too far - particularly at this point in history. Democracy has won the day and a credit to Scotland for such an example to the World. No one doubts that Scotland could go it alone and that we are a nation , we are also known to be canny, I think we showed that yesterday. The Politicians should take note, that even here in the Highlands the vote was NO. 


People want them to act accordingly and start doing what they are elected to do. Stop looking out for their own agenda, positions and party, and start improving the lives of  those living here and make it a better place for all.
