Glasgow City Council reported three cases of alleged "personation" following Thursday's poll while one incident was reported in Paisley and Renfrewshire North.

The offence occurs when a person votes as someone else. It is understood one instance is being investigated in each of the Glasgow North, Central and South seats.

A Glasgow City Council spokesman said the authority was "co-operating with the police" on the matter.

Renfrewshire Council has also reported an incident to police after a member of the public reportedly arrived at a polling station to place a vote only to find that it had already been cast by someone else.

BBC Scotland reported a further possible case of voter fraud in Stirling.

The Brexit date - when the UK leaves the EU - is currently set for 31 January 2020. Prime Minister Boris Johnson agreed a deal with the EU, but it still needs to go through Parliament.

• What is Boris Johnson's deal with the EU?
• What does 'Get Brexit done' mean?

With a large Conservative majority in the House of Commons, it should be relatively straightforward to pass Mr Johnson's deal.

It's thought likely that the government will re-introduce the Withdrawal Agreement Bill - the piece of law that lays the framework for Brexit happening - next week.

"The majority of votes in Scotland went to parties that are pro-union," says James Cleverly, chairman of the Conservative Party.

He points out that the SNP did not get over half of the vote, and BBC Reality Check's Chris Mason says his stats "do add up".

"The 2014 [Scottish independence] referendum was meant to be a once in a generation referendum," he says.

"My contention, and speaking to Scottish colleagues, is that really the SNP, before they revert back to these calls for another referendum, should probably think carefully about how they sort out the NHS in Scotland and how they reverse the slipping standards in Scottish schools. They have powers that they are not using properly."

The SNP are once again the undoubted winners of the night, taking a slew of seats from their opponents including a big scalp in the form of Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson.

The party haven't had it all their own way - running up against Tory resistance in a few seats and losing North East Fife to the Lib Dems - but Nicola Sturgeon's team have piled on thousands of votes in every seat and have already secured a landslide.

Labour, meanwhile, have collapsed across Scotland, with their share of the vote down sharply. They even lost the shadow Scottish secretary, Lesley Laird, to a candidate disowned by the SNP and who will sit as an independent.

The Conservatives have clinched victory UK-wide, but have lost a clutch of Scottish seats to the SNP - and will be wondering what this means for their campaign to "stop indyref2".

The Lib Dem vote share is up in most places, but any progress will be massively overshadowed by the loss of Ms Swinson. The party's leader has just gone from touting herself as a future prime minister to losing her seat for the second time in four years.

As the results rolled in overnight, reaction came in fast online. During the campaign we found many groups were left-leaning, with Labour supporters significantly more vocal than those who back the Tories.

"There have been different elections in different parts of the United Kingdom," says Ian Blackford, the leader of the SNP at Westminster

"[The Conservative Party] stood on a platform of saying no to an independence referendum. That didn't work. The SNP won the election convincingly in Scotland," he says.

He adds that Prime Minister Boris Johnson "must listen to the votes of the people in Scotland".

"And he must recognise that the government in Edinburgh has a mandate, is putting forward a bill for a referendum. He can't keep saying no, because all he's going to do is inflame those in Scotland that want to make that choice," he says.

"We can't sit back and allow what is happening to us, being driven out of the European Union against our will... What we've got is the United Kingdom - different parts of the United Kingdom - moving in different directions. This is a constitutional crisis."

Last night's results exceeded the expectations of even Nicola Sturgeon.

Stand by for three big elements - Brexit will happen. Labour will rethink. And the SNP will exercise plan B. They will argue that Scotland's voting pattern is again being overturned.

Jo Swinson

Jo Swinson was undoubtedly the biggest casualty from this election.

Not only did she lose her seat to the SNP by 149 votes, she has had to step down as Liberal Democrat leader, having led the party for just 144 days.

Stephen Gethins

It was the UK's most marginal seat in 2017, after Stephen Gethins won it for the SNP by just two votes.

However, he has now been unseated by the Lib Dems - the only seat the SNP lost. Mr Gethins had been the SNP's Brexit spokesperson.

Lesley Laird

Deputy Scottish Labour leader and former shadow Scottish secretary, Lesley Laird is one of six Scottish Labour MPs who will not be returning to Westminster.

She lost her seat to Neale Hanvey, who was suspended from the SNP just two weeks ago after he posted anti-Semitic comments on social media.

Kirstene Hair

The only female Scottish Tory MP from 2017 was not re-elected.

Kirstene Hair lost her Angus seat to the SNP, meaning the new Scottish Tory team at Westminster is all male.

Neale Hanvey, who was suspended from the SNP for using anti-Semitic language ahead of the election, won his seat in Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath.

He still appeared on the ballot paper as the party's candidate because his suspension came too late for changes to be made.

His election is thought to be the first time a candidate who was dropped by their party has been elected as an independent.

The Scottish Tories and Scottish Labour were also forced to drop candidates in the run up to the election (in Glasgow Central and Falkirk, respectively), but in both cases their candidates came third.

One comparative scenario was when former Labour politician Eddie Milne was deselected on the eve of the general election in 1974, but he went on to win as an independent.

However, Milne had anticipated deselection and was instead listed on the ballot as an 'Independent Labour' candidate.

His victory was short-lived however, as he lost his seat in the general election that took place a few months later.

The general election in Scotland had surprises, twists and turns with some big names losing their seats.

There are still a couple of seats left to declare but we can already say that there will be a record number of women MPs in the new parliament.

Labour will have the most, with 104, with the Conservatives on 86.

16 of the SNP's 47 MPs are women.

The Liberal Democrats will elect a new leader in the new year, the party has confirmed.

Deputy leader Ed Davey and party president Baroness Sal Brinton have taken over as acting leaders following Jo Swinson's election defeat.

Ms Swinson ceased to be leader of the party when she lost her seat to the SNP in East Dunbartonshire. The Lib Dem constitution states the leader must be an MP.

Baroness Brinton said: "In the weeks ahead we will elect a new leader and our party will continue to be the rallying point for anyone who believes in a country where everyone has the chance to get on in life."

Ms Swinson became the leader of the Lib Dems in July, the first female leader for the party.
