People in Scotland's capital reacted on Friday to the news that Alex
Salmond planned to resign as the country's First Minister and leader of
the Scottish Nationalist Party.
"Oh my god, that's a shock! I didn't think he needed to do that," said one man on Edinburgh's Royal Mile.
Salmond made the announcement only hours after Scotland voted against independence on Thursday.
"I am not a hundred percent shocked, given what happened yesterday," Thomas Connelly said on Friday.
Salmond said he was proud of the campaign and the record turnout for Thursday's referendum.
Salmond's impassioned plea to launch a new nation fell short, with Scots choosing instead the security of remaining in union with England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
