ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
British Prime Minister David Cameron appealed to Scots' emotions on his last visit to Scotland before this week's historic referendum by warning them on Monday (September 15) that a vote to leave the United Kingdom would be irreversible.
With opinion polls suggesting the referendum remains too close to call, Cameron, the leader of the ruling Conservative party, which draws most of its support from England, pled with voters not to use the referendum as a protest vote.
"There's no going back from this. No re-run. This is a once and for all decision. If Scotland votes 'yes' the UK will split and we will go our separate ways forever," Cameron said.
Cameron's trip is a last-ditch effort to try to persuade Scotland's many undecided voters to reject independence. Up to 500,000 people out of more than 4 million registered voters are estimated to be unsure how they will vote.
"You don't get the change you want by ripping your count
