Labour avoided a wipeout in Scotland by hanging on to this seat against the trend. The 4 pt increase in the Labour vote was doubtless a result in part of a no less than 30 pt drop in the Lib Dem vote.

Lib Dem veteran Jim Wallace says the price his party has paid for going into coalition with the Conservatives is "much higher than we ever expected."

Just four seats left to declare in Scotland. They are:

• Argyll and Bute

• Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk (There is a recount here. Sitting MP is Michael Moore)

• Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey (where Danny Alexander hopes to be re-elected)

• Ross, Skye and Lochaber (where Charles Kennedy is fighting his seat)

Scottish Labour's only MP, Ian Murray, says he fought his campaign on the "basis of his strong local record" as MP for Edinburgh South.

Will the proposals in the Smith Commission for further devolution of power to Edinburgh be enough to satisfy this new army of SNP MPs?

Or is this result a signal that Scottish voters want more radical reform, a change to the first-past-the-post voting system perhaps or even a complete restructuring of the UK along federal lines?

In the closing hours of the most extraordinary election campaign which anyone in Scotland can remember, Ms Sturgeon turned to talk of "legitimacy."

That will be her watchword in the coming days as she argues that the prime minister cannot ignore the democratic will of the Scottish people.

Politically, Scotland and England this morning look and feel like very different countries.

David Mundell. Scotland's only Tory MP in 2010, has retained his seat in Dumfriesshire despite a big swing to the SNP. Mr Mundell held on with a majority of 798.

Is this the end of the Union?

That is the question many people will be asking this morning after the party which has fought for Scottish independence for 80 years swept to victory.

The answer from the jubilant Scottish National Party leader Nicola Sturgeon is a firm "no".

She insists that her MPs will speak for all of Scotland: not just for the 45% who voted for the country to leave the United Kingdom last September.

"This changes nothing," Ms Sturgeon told me when I asked her about independence at the count in Glasgow, in a brief moment of calm during the nationalist avalanche.

Of course she hopes that the real answer is not "no" but "not yet".

In the meantime, the SNP will be arguing strongly for constitutional change.

Conservative David Mundell has managed to hold on in the South of Scotland. He was appointed junior Scotland Office minister in the coalition. Could he now be in line for a promotion to secretary of state for Scotland? He may be the only option for the gig!
