I finally arrived at the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston. This is the National Count Collation Centre for the Scottish Independence Referendum.
Media from around the planet are gathering in this hangar type building. Some places are reserved and the man from Slugger almost nicked a seat ‘belonging’ to the Chinese National News Agency.
However I think I got away with it.
I will be feeding the Sluggerati with a live updates throughout the night. Mick has said that he will grab my tweets and post them onto Slugger.

I have been around polling stations in Glasgow today and the most accurate impression I can give is that it is too cloase to call.
Certainly the Yes and No troops on the ground were not exuding confidence. Both referendum tribes saying pretty much the same thing.
I know from sources close to the leadership of Better Together and Yes Scotland that THEY don’t know.
Anyway we’re all in for a historic night whatever the result.
