The polls have opened in Scotland.

Things I think are really impressive about today's Scottish referendum vote.

97% of eligible voters have registered to vote. They're expecting a record turnout.

The ballot question is six words: "Should Scotland be an independent country?" There are two boxes: one for "Yes" and one for "No". That's the only question on the ballot paper. Ballots doesn't get much clearer or simpler than that.
