:00:00. > :00:07.Hi, I'm Martin with your special Newsround update, live from Glasgow

:00:08. > :00:11.in Scotland, with just 24 hours before people vote on whether

:00:12. > :00:17.Scotland will become independent or stay as part of the UK.

:00:18. > :00:33.Good morning. I am live in a school in Glasgow. People aged 16 and above

:00:34. > :00:37.will be able to vote tomorrow, but for children at the school, they are

:00:38. > :00:40.getting the chance to get their say with their very own pretend

:00:41. > :00:45.referendum vote. They have some polling station is here, and they

:00:46. > :00:49.have got neighbours, and after they make their vote at the station, the

:00:50. > :00:56.book their paper in the ballot box, which will get counted. What is your

:00:57. > :01:00.role today? I am the polling officer, registering everyone and

:01:01. > :01:04.giving them the ballot paper. What have you been getting up to in the

:01:05. > :01:08.build-up? There have been crusted beats, speeches at assemblies,

:01:09. > :01:16.people have been putting up posters and wearing badges. I have another

:01:17. > :01:21.pupil, who is voting yes. Why are you voting yes? We have a chance to

:01:22. > :01:26.build a better society, and we should take it. You are on the

:01:27. > :01:35.opposite side. If we leave the UK, there is no going back, and that

:01:36. > :01:40.scares me. We have got some people who are undecided. Why are you

:01:41. > :01:44.undecided? They are both such strong sides with even points, so it is

:01:45. > :01:50.hard to choose. Everyone is shouting at you what to vote, but you should

:01:51. > :01:55.think before you take the chance. Thanks very much. Over the past two

:01:56. > :01:58.weeks, I have been covering the length and breadth of Scotland

:01:59. > :02:04.covering this referendum. My latest report comes from a ship will bring

:02:05. > :02:11.town in Greenock, would I found out what kids thought there. --

:02:12. > :02:15.shipbuilding. Ship building has long been a part of Scottish history. It

:02:16. > :02:20.became important in the 19th-century when steam power began sail power.

:02:21. > :02:28.Ship builders made ships out of Ireland for people all around the

:02:29. > :02:32.world. Companies in Greenock made ships to carry food and cloth to

:02:33. > :02:37.other countries, but during the 1960s and 1970s, ship building went

:02:38. > :02:41.into the claim because of competition from other countries.

:02:42. > :02:46.Life became difficult for people living in areas like this, as many

:02:47. > :02:49.people lost their jobs. Today some ships are still built here. I wanted

:02:50. > :02:53.to find out what it is like growing up in an area like this. So I

:02:54. > :03:00.travelled up, to meet some of the kids. I play in my garden or go to a

:03:01. > :03:04.friend 's house play computer games, because they'd is not very much I

:03:05. > :03:14.can do. Bidders apart at the end of the road, -- there is a park at the

:03:15. > :03:18.end of the road, so I play the. I would like some of the buildings

:03:19. > :03:26.changed, because some of them are cracked and ugly. What would you

:03:27. > :03:29.like to do? I would like a park nearby because there are only a

:03:30. > :03:33.couple of parks I can go to, but they are far away from my house.

:03:34. > :03:37.This area has seen a lot of changes over the years but it still plays a

:03:38. > :03:41.part in the shipbuilding industry, but it can be a battle to keep

:03:42. > :03:45.shipyards open. With one almost having to be closed last month, the

:03:46. > :03:49.future is still uncertain for areas like Greenock. We know that a lot

:03:50. > :03:54.has been happening in the build-up to this referendum, so we got you

:03:55. > :03:58.guys to send in your questions. Maybe there were some niggling

:03:59. > :04:01.things you did not understand. So we sent your questions to the BBC's

:04:02. > :04:11.political expert. The yes campaign say it would still

:04:12. > :04:16.be pounds and pence, just as no. The yes campaign say it would still

:04:17. > :04:20.be pounds and pence, just as now. Others say that would not be

:04:21. > :04:22.possible, and Scotland could have There are the Olympic Games in

:04:23. > :04:39.a couple of years, and under which It looks as if they could either

:04:40. > :04:48.perform for Team GB or team Scotland, because it is not easy

:04:49. > :04:54.to sort out a team in time. Those who want

:04:55. > :05:04.an independent Scotland say that the Queen would stay, and she would

:05:05. > :05:08.become the Queen of Scots, just as she is the Queen in England and

:05:09. > :05:11.Northern Ireland and Wales and many There is an acceptance that if it is

:05:12. > :05:22.a yes vote, the Queen will stay. I picked up my phone, phoned some

:05:23. > :05:33.experts, they have no idea either. There is nothing in the rules to

:05:34. > :05:51.determine what would happen Voting starts at 9am, so I'd better

:05:52. > :05:57.get out of here. Don't forget, we will be live in Edinburgh, at

:05:58. > :06:12.4:20pm. From all of us here, goodbye.

:06:13. > :06:16.# When you've been fighting for it all your life... #
