POLLING stations have now CLOSED on the Scottish Referendum but which way has North Ayrshire gone?

After months of hard campaigning and endless debates from members of Yes Scotland and Better Together, voting has now finished.

Now the counting process will begin.

Ballot boxes will start arriving at North Ayrshire's count from 10.10pm, with Arran's ballot boxes expected in the early hours of tomorrow - weather permitting.

Then it's time to verify the votes before they are counted for yes and no.

Keep connected with the Irvine Times. We will be at the count and hope to regularly update our website and social media sites at www.facebook.com/irvinetimes and www.twitter.com/irvinetimes
