Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Ack there’s some guid - great in fact - fowk on the Scottish left. As long as they don’t just speak only amongst themselves and flock to Labour when Corbyn gets a bit of momentum, though frankly I don’t see any of these things not happening. Think it was the SNP’s Doug Daniel who quipped that the left-wing pro-Indy corner of Twitter only speaks to the parts of the country they like... and then complain they don’t get a hearing.Its the far left numpties like Boyd etc that I mean, nothing wrong with moderate left.

Found a breakdown on a messageboard (not sure how reliable) saying Inverness City, Lochaber and Skye, Fort William and Wick voted Yes. The rest voted No as far as I can see. http://vote-2012.proboards.com/thread/5508/2014-scottish-referendum-results-breakdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vote tallies were announced by the council areas. As Inverness as a city isn't a county in and of itself (like Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee), it's numbers were jumbled in with the rest of Highland. I don't think the official vote for Inverness was ever officially worked out and/or announced publicly but I recall a figure of 60% Yes floating around at the time.

It was a Mosque and Islamic community centre by then I think, not sure of their take on the independence issue. I'm sure the old members are delighted to see the building well used though. https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/News/Ex-Rangers-stronghold-set-to-become-a-mosque-22102013.htm http://invernessmasjid.co.uk/ P.S. The Castle Tavern has load of blazer, golf and rugby types, wouldn't be surprised by a heavy No vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such actions, inevitable I suppose, will allow the likes of the BBC and the Sunday Herald to present balanced output.
