The "Better Together" camp is leading on the "Yes Scotland" campaign, with partial results showing between 54 and 55 percent voted "No".
Results quoted by the Guardian suggest support for Scotland to remain part of the UK was at 1.397 m as of 05:15 BST (06:15 GMT), and those wanting the country to secede from Britain were 1.176 m.
The historic referendum had offered Scotland the opportunity to end a 307-year union with England and Wales.
Different council areas delivered different results, however, with a few councils having mostly chosen the "Yes" option.
Final figures are expected within hours.
