Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond whose long-cherished dream of Scotland's independence was rejected by voters in a referendum has announced his resignation.

But as I said often enough during this referendum campaign, this is a process which is not about me; it's much, much more important than that. This is a watershed moment in Scottish politics.
