UKIP has won its first Scottish seat in the European election, it has been confirmed, while the SNP took the largest share of the vote.
The SNP and Labour each won two of Scotland's six MEP seats, with one each for the Conservatives and UKIP.
The Liberal Democrats, who came sixth, lost their only European Parliament seat.
The final result was delayed until 12:30 to allow for counting in the Western Isles.
The 31 other local authorities had declared overnight, but the island authority does not count votes on a Sunday.
UKIP - which won 27% of the votes in England - picked up 10.4% north of the border, enough to send lead candidate David Coburn to the European Parliament.
The complicated proportional voting system meant that the SNP had to extend its share of the vote beyond one-third of the total in Scotland if it had any chance of keeping UKIP out.
But Alex Salmond's party fell just short with 389,503 votes - a 28.9% share.
The Green Party had also hoped to pick up its first seat and block UKIP, but ended with 108,305 votes (8%).
Labour saw its vote increase by five points to 25.9% with 348,219 votes, keeping its two MEPs, while the Conservatives held on to their single seat with 231,330 votes (17.2%).
The Liberal Democrats won just 95,319 votes (7.1%) and lost their only MEP in Scotland while being beaten to sixth place behind the Greens.
Turnout in Scotland was 33.5% - which was an improvement on 2009 when only about 28.5% of the electorate voted.
Across Scotland, turnout peaked at 43.1% in East Renfrewshire and 41.6% in Edinburgh. It was lowest in North Lanarkshire at 28.1%.
