EU referendum: Scotland backs Remain as UK votes Leave
Scotland has voted in favour of the UK staying in the EU by a landslide 62% to 38% - with all 32 council areas backing Remain.
But the UK as a whole has voted to Leave - raising the prospect of Scotland being taken out of the EU against its will.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Scotland had delivered a "strong, unequivocal vote" to remain in the EU.
With all the votes declared, the Leave side won by a margin of 51.9 % to 48.1%.
Ms Sturgeon's predecessor, Alex Salmond, said the result could lead to a second independence referendum.
