If there is a "No" victory and if it is as a result of Gordon Brown's timetable for delivering more powers for Scotland, will Westminster accept his analysis that the unalloyed sovereignty of Westminster is at an end?

The Stirling count is expected to declare its result at about 0415. But the town's SNP MSP, Bruce Crawford is downbeat.

Asked if he thought the result would be similar to that of neighbouring Clackmannanshire, where "No" received 54%, he said: "That would be very optimistic. I don't think we have done as well as that."

Scotland Office minister David Mundell, aka Scotland's only Tory MP, has arrived at the Ingliston national count from his south Scotland constituency saying he's optimistic of a "big 'No'" in that part of the country, and replicated across Scotland.

But he also says the significant number of people who voted "Yes" can't be ignored.

A bit of a glum picture at the "Yes" party in Glasgow.

Better Together campaigners at the Highland count in Dingwall are predicting a victory for the "No" side by 53% to 47%.

One activist admitted: "We seem to be doing much better than we expected at the beginning of the night."

This is a place where we would probably expect the "Yes" side to do rather better than average. Although it does not have a particularly large SNP vote Inverclyde does have plenty of neighbourhoods that are socially deprived.

The fact that the vote was virtually evenly divided must thus count as further disappointment to the "Yes" campaign. The results are beginning to point towards a "No" victory although it may be a while until we are clear as to how big that victory is.

It was not one of the top targets for "Yes" but it was one that they would have hoped to win.

It is a west of Scotland area where they could perhaps pitch that things could get better under independence and perhaps they had a willing audience in that regard.

"The thing that kept it closer than Clackmannanshire could be that issue of Ferguson's shipyard where the SNP Scottish government were seen as having been instrumental in bringing about the rescue of the yard."

BBC economics correspondent Robert Peston says a "No" vote would mean "sterling would bounce back" in the international money markets. He speculates this could mean a UK interest rate rise as early as November.

And still they keep coming! Ballot boxes waiting to be opened at the Argyll and Bute count at Lochgilphead.

The declaration is expected to be around 4.30am.

Ollie Glanvill tweets, external: Unbelievable even Inverclyde...

Alycia tweets, external: Inverclyde's votes were so close it physically pains me.

Cath tweets, external: I genuinely thought Inverclyde would be a yes vote.

James Shaw tweets, external: Yes Scotland chair Denis Canavan admits disappointment that No won in Clackmannanshire. Says big city could swing it back to #indyref Yes.

Several thousand postal votes have still to be opened, scanned and verified in Edinburgh. They have just arrived at Ingliston, and were apparently late issues or replacements.

Chris Highcock, the city's deputy counting officer, says this has delayed the declaration of turnout in the capital, but won't delay the final declaration, as other votes are being counted.
