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.
