A statue of Scottish King Robert the Bruce looks out over Stirling.
Stirling has voted to rejected independence by a margin of over 10,000.
No scooped 37,153 votes, well ahead of Yes on 25,010.
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said whatever the result, politics in Scotland would not be the same: “The status quo has been thoroughly smashed.”
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander, one of the most senior Liberal Democrat ministers in the coalition Government, told Sky News: “It does look like we have secured a No vote and that is clearly very welcome.
“It is also important to say a No vote is a mandate for change in Scotland, it’s a mandate for the strong proposals on more powers for the Scottish Parliament we have been setting out in this campaign.”
