   All but 3 seats fell to SNP. Tories, LibDem and Labour got one each, Greens   
   failed to get any and UKIP had a dismal result. The turnout was 76% of   
   the electorate, with some constituences recording over 80%. The SNP got   
   51% of the vote. It's a warning vote to Westminster - deliver the Smith   
   Commission and then some , or else. Cameron is already scrambling around   
   with suggestions of full fiscal autonomy being on the table (further   
   than the Smith recommendations).
