WE have had eyewitness reports from all over Scotland about Unionists trying to hide The National behind other newspapers in their local newsagents and stores.

With their very British love of freedom of speech (not), it seems certain people just can’t stomach the fact that there is a daily newspaper that supports independence.

We’re not perfect but we do try and report the facts in a straightforward manner while carrying opinions by columnists who support independence, as well as pages of letters by our readers that are often a display of divided opinion – it would be a fool who said that Scots agree on everything.

We like to think we are meeting a need and telling the story of the pro-independence movement, coverage that is conspicuously absent in the rest of the media.

But we need your help to do this, and now one Yes group has decided to take action to assist The National.

Yes Cupar has come to an arrangement with a local newsagent to have The National on sale at its Yes hub in the Crossgate Centre in the Fife town.

They announced on Monday: “From today The National is stocked and for sale at The Crossgate Centre! And The National headline boards will be out front in the street for all to see!

“If you’re in the Cupar area, make a habit of dropping in to buy your copy of The National from the centre!”

All we can say is thank you to Yes Cupar and hope others follow them.
