KUALA LUMPUR: Early results for the poll on whether Scotland should remain in the United Kingdom (UK) has seen the `No` side leading with a narrow margin.
AP reported that results coming in early brought cheer to the anti-independence "Better Together" camp.
With 11 of 32 regional electoral centres reporting, the No side had about 53 percent of the vote to about 47 for the Yes side.
But results from the big cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow were still to come.
Dundee - the largest area to declare so far, has however backed independence by 53,620 votes to 39,880.
Counting will carry on through the night, with the final result expected after 06:30 BST on Friday.
