Scottish Referendum

The Scottish referendum was a vote held in 2014 where people in Scotland decided whether to become an independent country or remain part of the United Kingdom. Scots voted overwhelmingly to stay within the UK, with about 55% choosing 'No' to independence and 45% voting 'Yes.' The referendum was called after growing debates about self-governance, economic control, and national identity. It was a peaceful, democratic process allowing Scots to express their views on their political future, shaping ongoing discussions about Scotland’s role within the UK and future sovereignty.
