    British Prime Minister David Cameron said the Scottish vote to remain in the United Kingdom has put the question of independence to rest "for a generation," but he pledged constitutional reforms to give Edinburgh greater control over its own affairs.

    "There can be no disputes, no reruns — we have heard the settled will of the Scottish people," Cameron said in a statement outside No. 10 Downing Street, his official residence, shortly after the results of the vote.

    The final count of the referendum was 2,001,926 "no" votes (55.3 percent) to 1,617,989 for "yes" (44.7 percent). More than 85 percent of eligible voters turned out.
