ALL Under One Banner is “revving up” its campaign for independence as Scotland gradually exits lockdown.
The organisation will outline its plans at a press conference on the anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn on June 23.
The pro-Yes campaign group was forced to postpone six events scheduled for this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
AUOB had been planning marches in Glasgow on May 2, Peebles on June 6, Elgin on July 4, Kircaldy on August 1, Stirling on September 12 and Edinburgh on October 3.

But organisers now say planning for future events is ramping up.
A statement read: “Three weeks today on Tues 23rd June (anniversary of Battle of Bannockburn) we will host a Press conference outside the Scottish Parliament to outline our position and announce our plans as we move forwards out of Lockdown.
“The Independence campaign is getting Revved up.”
This crisis is the final curtain for Westminster rule, the last dance for the Union. The Independence movement is on the rise with desire for self determination absolutely contagious. We're having it! 🏴

The group had previously promised a "massive" march in Glasgow once the coronavirus lockdown ends.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
