It’s countdown until Scotland decides whether or not they want to become independent from the rest of Britain. Scotland could leave the UK without a life being lost or a gun been fired even so they might say no and stay.

I'm in Glasgow Scotland's biggest city (not the capital) once the 2nd most powerful city after London. Thanks to Ship Building, tobacco and the slave trade. Now a shabby proud city of hard working Celtic and Rangers supporters who are trying to get to grips with poverty and social issues. They are still on a high after a successful Commonwealth Games. Even if Usain Bolt said Glasgow was a bit shit. I asked Glasgow how will they vote?

On the 18th of September Scotland will go to the polling stations and will be asked 'Should Scotland be an independent country?' By March 2016 Scotland could be a separate state.Scotland has been part of the union for over 300 years. SNP (Scottish National Party) leader and First Minister Alex Salmond feels it's time Scotland stood up and become free from the 'shackles' of Westminster. The No camp led by former Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling feels Scotland is better off financially staying a part of the United Kingdom.
