Ballot papers are counted in the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre in Aberdeen, on September 18, 2014, immediately after the polls close in the referendum on Scotland's independence. The question for voters at Scotland's more than 5,000 polling stations is 'Should Scotland be an independent country?' and they are asked to mark either 'Yes' or 'No'. The result is expected in the early hours of Friday.AFP PHOTO / BEN STANSALL (Photo credit should read BEN STANSALL/AFP via Getty Images)
