Punditry suggests that Salmond's Braveheart rhetoric over the pound and the EU may win him some short-term sympathy over the next few weeks, but that once the furore dies down Scotland will be left with the threat of actual independence, i.e. no EU and no pound, and this will play on voters' minds, further entrenching the NO vote.

For the time being, it's heartening to see business as usual in the YouGov figures, a 60/40 vote for the Union amongst those certain to vote. Even on the top line results, YES is going to have to take all the 'don't knows' in order just to lose with its honour intact.
