    One seat left to declare in Scotland, and that's the triple-recount in Fife North East. Might be a single vote in it between Lib Dems & SNP.

  6. Ireland to take centre stage?published at 05:56 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

    Brian Taylor
    BBC Scotland Political Editor

    The Tories have made 20 gains across the UK - with 12 of them in Scotland - thus emphasising how poor the result for the Conservatives is in England.

    They are now looking to a hung parliament - with the Tories presumably dependent on the DUP to secure votes in the Commons.

    This will mean that the issue of Ireland takes immediate centre stage in Brexit talks, at least for the UK government.

  7. Tories hold Dumfriesshirepublished at 05:54 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

    Scottish Secretary David Mundell, the only Tory in Scotland in the last parliament, has been returned in Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale. He will have 12 Tory colleagues from Scotland this time around.

    • The SNP has won 34 seats
    • The Tories have won 12 (with David Mundell's Dumfriesshire seat still to declare) - their best performance since 1983
    • Labour has won 7 and the Lib Dems 4.
    • The SNP has lost major figures including Alex Salmond and Angus Robertson as well as John NIcolson.
    • With just two Scottish seats still to declare - including Fife North East, where a third recount is under way - the SNP had won 37.1% of the votes, a drop of 13 percentage points since 2015.
    • The Scottish Tories had doubled their share of the vote to 28.3%, with Labour on 27.5% and the Lib Dems on 6.4%.

  12. Alistair Carmichael: 'It's clear there's no appetite for a second independence referendum'published at 05:43 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

    Alistair Carmichael, who has been returned as the Liberal Democrat MP for Orkney and Shetland, said: "Across the UK, I think it's fair to say that the people have spoken but it's not yet exactly clear what they have said.

    "As we see seats changing hands across Scotland, it's clear there's no appetite now for the second independence referendum and that's an idea that should be taken off the table."

    That's the Tories on 12 seats in Scotland, with David Mundell's Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale seat still to declare. They have already eclipsed 1992. It is their best result since 1983.

  17. Dumfries and Galloway looks likely to turn bluepublished at 05:35 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

    in Dumfries

    I think both Dumfries and Galloway and the Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale seats are going to go to the Conservatives, that's certainly the indication.

    The Conservatives are going to have a majority of about 3,000, I'm being told, in Dumfries and Galloway. And it might be a massive majority of round about 10,000 for David Mundell who is defending the Dumfriessshire, Clydesdale and Tweedale seat.

    He had a majority of less than 800 in 2015. It was a very marginal seat but he has increased he appears to have increased his majority substantially.

  19. Brendan O'Hara: 'Heartbreaking' to lose Westminster colleaguespublished at 05:31 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

    Brendan O'Hara, who has been returned as SNP MP for Argyll and Bute, told BBC Scotland it was "heartbreaking" that some of his parliamentary colleagues had lost their seats.

    "Some really good, hard-working SNP MPs have lost their seat tonight and it's absolutely heart-breaking," he said.

    Brendan O'Hara

    "Although I'm delighted [to win the seat] and my team are cock-a-hoop, our thoughts are with those who didn't quite make it.

    "As far as I'm concerned this is a bump in the road - nothing worth fighting for was ever easy."
