:00:11. > :00:14.On Election Reporting Scotland tonight:
:00:15. > :00:15.Last-minute campaigning has been taking place
:00:16. > :00:17.across Scotland, with each of the party leaders making
:00:18. > :00:21.And we take a look behind the scenes at BBC
:00:22. > :00:46.This time tomorrow the polls will have closed
:00:47. > :00:50.Tonight, a last-minute push for votes has been taking place.
:00:51. > :00:54.All of Scotland's political leaders have been making final speeches
:00:55. > :01:04.Here's our political correspondent Glenn Campbell.
:01:05. > :01:06.On live television in the closing stages of this surprise
:01:07. > :01:10.election, a surprise revelation from the First Minister about a telephone
:01:11. > :01:13.conversation she had with the Labour leader
:01:14. > :01:20.When you told me then you thought that Brexit meant Labour should stop
:01:21. > :01:23.opposing a referendum, you've changed your mind but why should
:01:24. > :01:29.APPLAUSE The staunchly Unionist Conservative
:01:30. > :01:32.leader could hardly believe her ears.
:01:33. > :01:35.Did you just tell people you had a private conversation when she
:01:36. > :01:40.said she would drop Labour's opposition to independence?
:01:41. > :01:43.She said she thought Brexit changed everything and she didn't think
:01:44. > :01:45.Labour could any longer go on opposing a second
:01:46. > :01:51.An account Kezia Dugdale doesn't accept.
:01:52. > :01:54.The idea I would do anything other than protect the UK
:01:55. > :02:01.The trouble with that denial is that it's only a
:02:02. > :02:04.year or so since Kezia Dugdale was quoted saying that it wasn't
:02:05. > :02:09.inconceivable should back independence in the event of Brexit.
:02:10. > :02:12.While she certainly spent this election campaign arguing against a
:02:13. > :02:17.second independence referendum, her UK leader Jeremy Corbyn doesn't
:02:18. > :02:24.appear to have ruled out giving Holyrood the power to hold one.
:02:25. > :02:26.In Glasgow this morning, he was no more
:02:27. > :02:30.The priority is the election of a Labour government that
:02:31. > :02:37.I didn't see the urgency or the need for an independence referendum.
:02:38. > :02:40.In Edinburgh, Kezia Dugdale served up a
:02:41. > :02:45.What she's asserting is a categorical lie and one which
:02:46. > :02:49.I've always opposed independence and a second
:02:50. > :02:54.The Tories also turned on the First Minister.
:02:55. > :02:56.I thought many things about the First
:02:57. > :03:04.Minister but I never thought she was a clype..
:03:05. > :03:07.Don't have a private chat with this First Minister because if
:03:08. > :03:09.it suits her purposes, everyone will get to hear about it.
:03:10. > :03:11.This First Minister will say anything to
:03:12. > :03:14.deflect from the SNP's appalling record in office.
:03:15. > :03:18.I stand by 100% what I said last night.
:03:19. > :03:21.In fact, if anybody reads what Labour and Kezia
:03:22. > :03:24.Dugdale were saying in public around that time,
:03:25. > :03:26.they will see the ring of
:03:27. > :03:31.The Liberal Democrats decided to keep out of what some are calling
:03:32. > :03:37.But they've got problems of their own.
:03:38. > :03:39.Police have reported their campaign directed to
:03:40. > :03:43.prosecutors over the spending in his Holyrood election campaign last
:03:44. > :03:48.year, prompting SNP calls for him to be suspended by the Lib Dems.
:03:49. > :03:52.We are confident in our processes that
:03:53. > :03:56.every item of expenditure has been accounted for.
:03:57. > :04:00.The police haven't interviewed Alex Cole Hamilton, this
:04:01. > :04:07.Therefore it is in the hands of the police and the Prix curator to
:04:08. > :04:17.As Scotland prepares to go to the polls, this UK general
:04:18. > :04:19.election campaign just got more interesting.
:04:20. > :04:21.Well, for one last time, I'm joined by our panel of pundits.
:04:22. > :04:23.Tonight here in Glasgow we have Stephen Paton,
:04:24. > :04:26.who's online content editor for the National, and the journalist
:04:27. > :04:39.And in Edinburgh we've got Jenni Davidson from Holyrood magazine.
:04:40. > :04:48.how has the campaign is being? Justice on top. Think no one had
:04:49. > :04:50.expected it. When it was first announced, everyone is expecting a
:04:51. > :04:53.standard campaign from the Conservatives who were going to walk
:04:54. > :04:59.into a larger majority and out of Norway has come a tightening, the
:05:00. > :05:04.Labour Party swinging in any way people were not expecting. It was
:05:05. > :05:08.meant to be a formal, getting in more Conservative MPs, but could act
:05:09. > :05:12.have large ramifications and implications in the UK for several
:05:13. > :05:16.years to come. And the speed with which they have had to pull things
:05:17. > :05:23.together, the political parties, has been a challenge. How must you think
:05:24. > :05:26.that has divided? I slightly disagree, I think this was all set
:05:27. > :05:32.to be an exiting campaign, because each of the parties. Back we are
:05:33. > :05:38.back to the 2-party system, so it seems. I may be proved wrong
:05:39. > :05:42.tomorrow. In the UK anyway. One of the editing things about the
:05:43. > :05:49.election is that it has been about parking on other people's lawns. The
:05:50. > :05:52.Tories have been trying to gain more Conservative MPs, but they been
:05:53. > :05:57.trying to do it with a manifesto which buys more interesting than
:05:58. > :06:03.many had anticipated. I think that what they have not done is prepare
:06:04. > :06:07.the ground very well for that, but it has made for a more interesting
:06:08. > :06:11.election because there has been a very clear division between the two
:06:12. > :06:17.main parties in England. What were the issues for you that have stood
:06:18. > :06:22.out? We will talk about moment in a minute, but issues. Independence in
:06:23. > :06:28.Scotland has been the big one. The Julian is party 's have been talking
:06:29. > :06:34.about that, and they have set out their stalls based on opposition
:06:35. > :06:38.independence. They've been putting forward opposition to the SNP on
:06:39. > :06:46.that basis and it is interesting that they are uniting against the
:06:47. > :06:51.SNP on that. Despite their different policy positions in other areas.
:06:52. > :06:55.Across the UK, the dementia tax has been a big one, even though it
:06:56. > :07:01.doesn't as they apply in Scotland, but the ramifications of that and
:07:02. > :07:06.the impact on the way that has made Conservatives look and made Theresa
:07:07. > :07:13.May look the terms of undermining her strong, stable message. That has
:07:14. > :07:18.still affected the campaign in Scotland. The rate clause, you saw
:07:19. > :07:23.that in the debate last night, the other parties all gang up on Ruth
:07:24. > :07:27.Davidson about how she could support the two child tax credit policy and
:07:28. > :07:33.the rate clause, so those for me would be the defining issues. The
:07:34. > :07:37.politicians in a way cannot control the issues, it is not always what
:07:38. > :07:40.they want to talk about. How much do you think Brexit maybe has not
:07:41. > :07:46.featured as much as Theresa May would have liked it? That was a
:07:47. > :07:50.strategy of hers, a strong and stable leader. That is why a thing
:07:51. > :07:54.she wanted to focus on Brexit. One reason they might have moved away
:07:55. > :07:59.from it is the fact that there was a more interesting manifesto, but not
:08:00. > :08:05.in the way that they wanted. Dementia tax, rate clause, getting
:08:06. > :08:09.people's attention. That gave an excellent platform for Jeremy Corbyn
:08:10. > :08:13.to step in with his policies to do with putting more money back into
:08:14. > :08:19.services and addressing it that way. I can understand why the message
:08:20. > :08:26.moved on from Brexit, and got into more social issues. What were the
:08:27. > :08:29.defining moments for you? Apart from the terror attacks which were
:08:30. > :08:35.terrible, but in political terms the defining moments have been the
:08:36. > :08:39.absences. Exit is enormous. The idea that Jeremy Corbyn is doing the
:08:40. > :08:46.country a favour by simply ignoring it is certainly worrying. So it has
:08:47. > :08:51.been the absence of serious debate about Brexit that has defined this
:08:52. > :08:56.campaign for me, every day we been waiting for some really serious
:08:57. > :08:58.debates about Brexit and the Conservatives have supplied no
:08:59. > :09:05.detail and the Labour Party has sadly ignored it. Nicola Sturgeon up
:09:06. > :09:08.here just has one note about Brexit and that is that Scotland must have
:09:09. > :09:15.a seat at the table and what she would like to see out of Brexit. But
:09:16. > :09:19.we have had no real debate and nothing very substantial about what
:09:20. > :09:22.should have been the defining issue of this election, because if we
:09:23. > :09:28.don't get Brexit right, the other parties can promise whatever they
:09:29. > :09:32.like, but they will won't be the wherewithal or organisation. How
:09:33. > :09:36.will we get out of the UN move on? The one thing the Liberal Democrats
:09:37. > :09:40.have offered is a vote on the terms of Brexit. Do you think that that
:09:41. > :09:46.has broken through as much as they might have hoped? No, I don't think
:09:47. > :09:52.so. I doubt that that is really carrying weight. No one expects them
:09:53. > :09:54.to be the main ruling party, so whatever they say, everyone knows
:09:55. > :10:01.that is not axing what is going to happen. I think people are also
:10:02. > :10:09.quite defined now in where they want things to go, they want full hard
:10:10. > :10:16.Brexit, the UK to leave and get on with it, or whether they want a soft
:10:17. > :10:21.Brexit, they won the single market. Access to single market or
:10:22. > :10:27.membership. Access to the customs union. Asking that again, to
:10:28. > :10:33.everyone it seems like me running a debate that has that he happened,
:10:34. > :10:36.and I think it is also just so far away that people cannot even project
:10:37. > :10:44.what the final deal is to think about, or what would we want, what
:10:45. > :10:50.would I vote in that sense, there has been talk about leaving with no
:10:51. > :10:54.deal, so what would that mean? Stay by bus, all, we are going to come
:10:55. > :10:56.back to put you in a moment. More from the campaign trail in a moment,
:10:57. > :11:00.but first some other news. To the rest of the days news,
:11:01. > :11:03.and the headteacher of a school where a pupil died after a wall fell
:11:04. > :11:07.on her has told an inquiry there had been a proposal to remove it
:11:08. > :11:09.before the accident. Stephen Kelly said the work didn't
:11:10. > :11:13.go ahead because of a lack of funds. 12-year-old Keane
:11:14. > :11:14.Wallis Bennett died Stephen Kelly told the fatal
:11:15. > :11:20.accident inquiry the proposal to remove the modesty of war
:11:21. > :11:24.in the girls changing room at the school was part
:11:25. > :11:28.of a refurbishment programme. He said the work was nothing to do
:11:29. > :11:31.with the safety of the wall, he had no concerned about it
:11:32. > :11:34.and no one had come to him He told the inquiry the work had not
:11:35. > :11:40.gone ahead because it -- were not available.
:11:41. > :11:46.and the funds were available. Keane Wallis-Bennett
:11:47. > :11:48.died in April 2014 The inquiry heard evidence that
:11:49. > :11:53.pupils at the school had raised concerned about the wall which
:11:54. > :11:58.screened off the changing room. They have reported it
:11:59. > :12:01.moving or wobbling. Merhi Henderson was one
:12:02. > :12:05.of several teachers questioned, she was
:12:06. > :12:09.working at the school She and the other teachers insisted
:12:10. > :12:14.pupils had never reported concerned about the safety of
:12:15. > :12:16.the wall and they all said that if they had
:12:17. > :12:18.they would have removed pupils from
:12:19. > :12:23.the area and reported it so safety checks could be carried out and any
:12:24. > :12:27.necessary work undertaken. A 42-year-old man has died
:12:28. > :12:38.after a tree hit his car in high It happened last night
:12:39. > :12:44.on the A85 east of Gilmerton. Meanwhile people were forced

:16:56. > :16:59.Many of Scotland's more remote communities and islands are now
:17:00. > :17:02.often reliant on the postal service to have their say.

:17:43. > :17:44.But the pace of life is different here.
:17:45. > :17:50.The fact that you are putting your cross on and you are putting it
:17:51. > :17:53.in the box, you are doing your bit, you're doing your thing.
:17:54. > :17:55.And you feel that you have contributed.
:17:56. > :17:57.And nobody can take that away from you.
:17:58. > :18:00.Some of Scotland's remote island communities have no choice
:18:01. > :18:06.But here on Eigg there is a polling place and many people here say
:18:07. > :18:09.they really relish the opportunity to cast their vote by hand.
:18:10. > :18:14.I am the Presiding Officer, so my responsibility is to make
:18:15. > :18:19.sure that the whole process is done properly.
:18:20. > :18:21.We have a very fun time, we just prepare sandwiches, flasks,
:18:22. > :18:28.and our neighbours further down the road bring us some ice creams.
:18:29. > :18:31.Charlie Gally is the only taxi driver on the island.
:18:32. > :18:40.He hasn't seen any election campaigning when driving around
:18:41. > :18:44.How do you feel about that, do you feel left out?
:18:45. > :18:49.I think the people that come to your door just make
:18:50. > :18:53.You have already made up your mind what you're going to do.
:18:54. > :18:56.You don't need somebody coming knocking on your door and taking up
:18:57. > :18:59.There is power here at the local level.
:19:00. > :19:01.It is 20 years since the people bought out the island,
:19:02. > :19:05.So how close do they feel to the parliaments where
:19:06. > :19:11.Edinburgh feels a long way away and Westminster even more so.
:19:12. > :19:15.Because of the community buyout 20 years ago,
:19:16. > :19:18.we feel a lot more conscious that people can affect change
:19:19. > :19:31.And so I think people here are more politically engaged.
:19:32. > :19:34.While it can feel very distant here from the frenzy of the campaign
:19:35. > :19:36.on parts of the mainland, islanders are determined to make

:19:40. > :19:51.Lorna Gordon, BBC News, on the Isle of Eigg.
:19:52. > :19:54.Well, let's speak again to our panel of pundits, Stephen Paton,
:19:55. > :19:56.online Editor of The National, the author and journalist
:19:57. > :20:05.Katie Grant, and Jenni Davidson from Holyrood magazine.
:20:06. > :20:12.Katie, a quick word on the idea of all the issues devolved to Scotland
:20:13. > :20:18.featuring so heavily in this campaign. Has that been confusing
:20:19. > :20:22.for voters? I think it is, even though we have had devolution for a
:20:23. > :20:26.long time. I think it is partly because a general election by its
:20:27. > :20:30.very term sounds as if it should affect all of us. What has Jenny
:20:31. > :20:37.referred to earlier, some of the spending plans don't really affect
:20:38. > :20:41.Scotland. So Webber wins enough MPs back in Westminster, we are still
:20:42. > :20:46.very much a powerful, devolved government. What the SNP are hoping
:20:47. > :20:50.to focus on is that, and quite rightly, is that they are a very
:20:51. > :20:54.strong voice at Westminster if they can return MPs. It is not just a
:20:55. > :20:58.question of them returning MSP is, this election does matter to
:20:59. > :21:01.Scotland in a very particular way. And in the same way to Wales and
:21:02. > :21:07.very particularly to Northern Ireland at the moment. Let's talk
:21:08. > :21:10.about opinion polls. We have learned recently of listening to the polls
:21:11. > :21:13.too much. What do you think people are doing this time in terms of
:21:14. > :21:18.treating them with a bit more caution? Yeah, I think people are
:21:19. > :21:22.right to be cautious around the polls. We were told we wouldn't have
:21:23. > :21:29.Brexit. We were told it would be a hung parliament. It is interesting
:21:30. > :21:33.to see this being something we are looking at again. I think people are
:21:34. > :21:36.very cautious but I think there are things you can read into the polls.
:21:37. > :21:41.Even if not necessarily what the outcome is going to be. For example,
:21:42. > :21:44.looking at the increasing support for the Labour Party over this
:21:45. > :21:48.campaign has shown there is an appetite, I would argue, for a
:21:49. > :21:50.different kind of policies from what the Conservatives are offering, or
:21:51. > :21:57.even historically Labour are offering. Jenny, how much you think
:21:58. > :22:00.the politicians are watching the polls? I think they're watching them
:22:01. > :22:04.very closely. The saw that in the last couple of days. The change of
:22:05. > :22:17.from Nicola Sturgeon from opposing the Tories to really trying to woo
:22:18. > :22:25.Lib Dem and Labour voters. It alters the way they behave in campaign as
:22:26. > :22:31.well. Yeah. Today she was saying SNP, it was quite extraordinary, SNP
:22:32. > :22:35.MPs would be closer to Jeremy Corbyn than Scottish Labour once was. If
:22:36. > :22:37.you supported Labour, you should vote SNP. Thank you all for coming
:22:38. > :22:39.in. Once we get to polling day,
:22:40. > :22:41.broadcasters are restricted in what they can say
:22:42. > :22:44.until the polls close. Then we'll have a special programme
:22:45. > :22:46.with all the results, here on BBC One Scotland with Glenn
:22:47. > :22:48.Campbell. So what preparations
:22:49. > :23:00.are being made for the big night? It has been an election campaign
:23:01. > :23:05.like no other, and tomorrow it reaches a conclusion. Scotland's
:23:06. > :23:09.biggest camp will be at the Emirates arena in Glasgow. Here and counting
:23:10. > :23:15.locations from Orkney to Dumfries, final preparations are under way for
:23:16. > :23:20.the long night ahead. Up to 4 million Scots are eligible to vote
:23:21. > :23:25.spread across 59 constituencies. The first declaration expected around
:23:26. > :23:28.2am. Here at BBC Scotland, final preparations are under way for the
:23:29. > :23:34.overnight election results programme. It kicks off at 9:55pm. A
:23:35. > :23:37.key moment comes five minutes later when voting closes and the results
:23:38. > :23:42.of the exit election poll revealed on the big screen behind me. That
:23:43. > :23:45.will be the start of 11 hours of gruelling coverage with cameras at
:23:46. > :23:48.all the key counts. Glenn Campbell will be in the hot seat overnight
:23:49. > :23:54.bringing you the results as they happen. With expert analysis from
:23:55. > :24:00.political expert Brian Taylor and reaction from politicians. We will
:24:01. > :24:03.be covering not just the 59 constituencies in Scotland, but of
:24:04. > :24:07.course all the big results from across the UK as we move towards a
:24:08. > :24:09.final result and find out who is going to be Prime Minister, who is
:24:10. > :24:13.going to form the next UK government. Of course, Theresa May
:24:14. > :24:19.called this election in the hope of increasing her majority from 12 to a
:24:20. > :24:23.much greater number. There has been a narrowing in the UK wide opinion
:24:24. > :24:27.polls as we move towards the end of this campaign. So there might be
:24:28. > :24:32.some nervousness on the part of the Conservatives about how the result
:24:33. > :24:37.will go. In just over two years, Scotland has been to the polls four
:24:38. > :24:43.times. Tomorrow we do it all over again. Good news for election
:24:44. > :24:44.pundits. Returning officers. And the manufacturers of small pencils on
:24:45. > :24:45.bits of string. Now, our pets may not
:24:46. > :24:47.have the right to vote tomorrow, but that doesn't stop them
:24:48. > :24:50.from getting their paws down Dogs at polling Stations has become
:24:51. > :24:53.a popular hashtag in So much so that its been now been
:24:54. > :25:18.given its own emoji. Good evening. If you cast your mind
:25:19. > :25:24.back to yesterday, it was very tunnel. Plenty of rain. But today,
:25:25. > :25:29.quite the opposite. Chalk and cheese. Wall-to-wall sunshine. The
:25:30. > :25:33.rain will become confined to the Northern Ireland tonight. The
:25:34. > :25:37.pressure chart. We have got a front crossing the country at the moment,
:25:38. > :25:41.introducing patchy rain in southern Scotland. In the north we hold onto
:25:42. > :25:46.dry weather. Tomorrow morning it will be sunny and it will be quite
:25:47. > :25:51.chilly as well. It predominantly dry start. Some patchy rain in the far
:25:52. > :25:55.south. Sunshine in the North. Eventually the sun will come through
:25:56. > :26:00.over seven. Temperatures around about ten to 12 Celsius. It will be
:26:01. > :26:06.a mild, cloudy start to the day. The further north you are, colder.
:26:07. > :26:09.Temperatures not far off freezing. Across the far north, plenty of
:26:10. > :26:14.sunshine first thing. Bright enough for a Shetland. That rain gets its
:26:15. > :26:19.act together, pushing and across southern Scotland, extending through
:26:20. > :26:24.the central lowlands through the day. It is a different wind
:26:25. > :26:28.direction. The winds are coming from the south, not the north. The rain
:26:29. > :26:33.will be driving in across northern Aberdeenshire as much as we saw
:26:34. > :26:37.today and did yesterday. As for the rest of the UK, weather fronts all
:26:38. > :26:41.over the place. Every thundery showers for Northern Ireland. Some
:26:42. > :26:46.showers for the west of the UK. A rather cloudy affair generally
:26:47. > :26:50.across much of England and Wales. It gets warmer in the South in the
:26:51. > :26:55.afternoon. Back in Scotland temperatures eventually rising to
:26:56. > :27:00.around 17 Celsius in the south. It will feel cold -- cool. The rain
:27:01. > :27:05.moves north as we had through tomorrow evening. It becomes
:27:06. > :27:08.confined to the far north. A ridge of high pressure starts to build in
:27:09. > :27:09.for Friday. Not too bad
