IT is good to know that many Yes groups appreciate the work that The National does in spreading the word about the independence movement.

The readers of many other newspapers will be very surprised when Scotland becomes independent but not our readers who are aware of the continued growth of the Yes movement as uniquely chronicled by the only newspaper that supports independence.

We do need your help, however, in circulating The National more widely and Yes Kirkcaldy have taken the initiative to assist us.

Dougie Grant of Yes Kirkcaldy told Yes Hub: “Following on from the launch event for the Sunday National, Yes Kirkcaldy decided that circulating The National around the area would be beneficial to the independence campaign and, of course, beneficial to the paper itself.

“As far as finances allow – these are from individual contributions of a fiver a week – we pre-order The National from a local newsagent and deliver on a Saturday morning.

“Thirty copies are delivered to previously identified predominantly No areas in Burntisland and a further 15 delivered to pubs and restaurants and barbers and hairdressers in Kirkcaldy Town Centre. The benefit of delivering to pubs, etc, is that more than one person will read the paper and spread the message more widely.”

That is sound logic and we can confirm a boost to our circulation in the area. Thanks, Yes Kirkcaldy.
