Voters in Scotland have only four more hours to decide on the future of Great Britain.
Ballots have been cast at the 5,579 polling stations - from Lerwick to Gretna - and they will remain open until 10pm today, with the result expected early on Friday morning.
Earlier today, the first attempts to intimidate No voters appeared scrawled across the walls at one polling station.
The message 'Vote Yes or else!' was spotted at a church hall in Balloch, at the foot of Loch Lomond by MSP for Dumbarton, Jackie Baillie.
She condemned the tactics as 'shocking' as she urged voters not to give in to the attempts to 'threaten and intimidate', encouraging people to #voteno on Twitter.
