As the results of the Scottish referendum were announced this morning, residents at St Catherine’s waited with baited breath to find out the results of their own ballot on the issue.
While people in Scotland went to the polls yesterday, the residents enjoyed a lively debate on the subject of Scottish independence before placing their vote in their own ballot box.
As well as residents, visitors and staff had also been encouraged to take part in the opinion poll and, of the 52 votes cast, 85% had plumped for ‘no’.
The whole event was organised by Activity Co-ordinator, Richard Dobinson, who said, “It was such a momentous occasion that everyone wanted to be part of it. There were no shortage of opinions and the debate lasted an hour-and-a-half!”
