Scotland remains part of Great Britain

Scotland's independence referendum showed 1.5 million people voted for independence, but it was not enough as results showed 55.42% voted to remain in the United Kingdom, writes the BH News Agency Patria.

Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond, the leader of the independence movement, admitted defeat after 31 regions announced the voting results and thanked those who voted for Scotland's independence.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said his heart would have broken if he had seen the UK fall apart, writes latimes.com. He also added that the United Kingdom moves forward together after this.

Otherwise, 4.2 million voters were registered who could participate in the referendum and answer the question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?"
