ALL Under One Banner has hailed Saturday's march for independence in Edinburgh as having the "biggest turnout" for an indy march since before the Covid pandemic.
People from across Scotland arrived at the capital on Saturday afternoon, walking from Johnston Terrace all the way to the Scottish Parliament.

Pipes and drums led the march as Scots followed, waving saltires and banners reading "our right to decide".
AUOB said it was a successful march with the biggest turnout for the group in years.
That's us packed away our equipment and tidied up the rally site, leaving the grounds in a tidier condition than how we found them. Well done everyone! That was the biggest demonstration for independence on Parliament grounds since it was re-established in 1999. #AUOBEdinburgh 🏴 pic.twitter.com/m2jwGVlxAD

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!
