UK Pranksters Set Up Fake Border Checkpoint Ahead of Scottish Vote on Independence

Just ahead of the vote to determine whether Scotland remains part of the United Kingdom, some pranksters set up a fake border checkpoint between the two countries. The group was made up of both Scots and Brits looking for a good laugh, according to the Telegraph.

The checkpoint was the brainwave of photographer Jon Parker Lee along with a group of English and Scottish friends.

The jokers went all out with their prank.

The gang erected a barrier along with signs reading "Scottish Border Agency Passport Control" and wore high-visibility jackets to suggest they were indeed authentic border authorities.

They said they're just looking to have some fun.

"The debate needed a bit of a joke," Lee said.
