While Scotland itself may have voted No, it quickly became clear that a majority of young people voted Yes.
As the news broke, many took to Twitter to express their disappointment.
And disbelief quickly set in.
A lot was made of the fact that Glasgow was one of the few Yes strongholds.
And hatred of No-voting Edinburgh was expressed.
They were acutely aware of how the vote demographics played out.
There was bitterness at the rest of the UK.
Conspiracy theories were floated.
They were dubious about the future.
But overall, the mood was simply despondent.
Even though there were some things everyone in the UK could agree on.
And in the end, there was only one reaction.
