Hi, I'm Martin with your special Newsround update, live from Glasgow

:00:00.:00:07.

in Scotland, with just 24 hours before people vote on whether

:00:08.:00:11.

Scotland will become independent or stay as part of the UK.

:00:12.:00:17.

Good morning. I am live in a school in Glasgow. People aged 16 and above

:00:18.:00:33.

will be able to vote tomorrow, but for children at the school, they are

:00:34.:00:37.

getting the chance to get their say with their very own pretend

:00:38.:00:40.

referendum vote. They have some polling station is here, and they

:00:41.:00:45.

have got neighbours, and after they make their vote at the station, the

:00:46.:00:49.

book their paper in the ballot box, which will get counted. What is your

:00:50.:00:56.

role today? I am the polling officer, registering everyone and

:00:57.:01:00.

giving them the ballot paper. What have you been getting up to in the

:01:01.:01:04.

build-up? There have been crusted beats, speeches at assemblies,

:01:05.:01:08.

people have been putting up posters and wearing badges. I have another

:01:09.:01:16.

pupil, who is voting yes. Why are you voting yes? We have a chance to

:01:17.:01:21.

build a better society, and we should take it. You are on the

:01:22.:01:26.

opposite side. If we leave the UK, there is no going back, and that

:01:27.:01:35.

scares me. We have got some people who are undecided. Why are you

:01:36.:01:40.

undecided? They are both such strong sides with even points, so it is

:01:41.:01:44.

hard to choose. Everyone is shouting at you what to vote, but you should

:01:45.:01:50.

think before you take the chance. Thanks very much. Over the past two

:01:51.:01:55.

weeks, I have been covering the length and breadth of Scotland

:01:56.:01:58.

covering this referendum. My latest report comes from a ship will bring

:01:59.:02:04.

town in Greenock, would I found out what kids thought there. --

:02:05.:02:11.

shipbuilding. Ship building has long been a part of Scottish history. It

:02:12.:02:15.

became important in the 19th-century when steam power began sail power.

:02:16.:02:20.

Ship builders made ships out of Ireland for people all around the

:02:21.:02:28.

world. Companies in Greenock made ships to carry food and cloth to

:02:29.:02:32.

other countries, but during the 1960s and 1970s, ship building went

:02:33.:02:37.

into the claim because of competition from other countries.

:02:38.:02:41.

Life became difficult for people living in areas like this, as many

:02:42.:02:46.

people lost their jobs. Today some ships are still built here. I wanted

:02:47.:02:49.

to find out what it is like growing up in an area like this. So I

:02:50.:02:53.

travelled up, to meet some of the kids. I play in my garden or go to a

:02:54.:03:00.

friend 's house play computer games, because they'd is not very much I

:03:01.:03:04.

can do. Bidders apart at the end of the road, -- there is a park at the

:03:05.:03:14.

end of the road, so I play the. I would like some of the buildings

:03:15.:03:18.

changed, because some of them are cracked and ugly. What would you

:03:19.:03:26.

like to do? I would like a park nearby because there are only a

:03:27.:03:29.

couple of parks I can go to, but they are far away from my house.

:03:30.:03:33.

This area has seen a lot of changes over the years but it still plays a

:03:34.:03:37.

part in the shipbuilding industry, but it can be a battle to keep

:03:38.:03:41.

shipyards open. With one almost having to be closed last month, the

:03:42.:03:45.

future is still uncertain for areas like Greenock. We know that a lot

:03:46.:03:49.

has been happening in the build-up to this referendum, so we got you

:03:50.:03:54.

guys to send in your questions. Maybe there were some niggling

:03:55.:03:58.

things you did not understand. So we sent your questions to the BBC's

:04:02.:04:11.

be pounds and pence, just as no. The yes campaign say it would still

:04:12.:04:16.

be pounds and pence, just as now. Others say that would not be

a couple of years, and under which It looks as if they could either

:04:23.:04:39.

perform for Team GB or team Scotland, because it is not easy

:04:40.:04:48.

to sort out a team in time. Those who want

:04:49.:04:54.

an independent Scotland say that the Queen would stay, and she would

:04:55.:05:04.

become the Queen of Scots, just as she is the Queen in England and

:05:05.:05:08.

Northern Ireland and Wales and many There is an acceptance that if it is

:05:09.:05:11.

a yes vote, the Queen will stay. I picked up my phone, phoned some

:05:12.:05:22.

experts, they have no idea either. There is nothing in the rules to

:05:23.:05:33.

determine what would happen Voting starts at 9am, so I'd better

:05:34.:05:51.

get out of here. Don't forget, we will be live in Edinburgh, at

:05:52.:05:57.

4:20pm. From all of us here, goodbye.
