IT started with another portrayal of Scotland as a nation of blue-painted, See-You-Jimmy hat wearing rogues - and ended with a trending twitter hashtag asking for “ordinary” indy supporters to stand up.

The Economist caused annoyance online earlier when it shared an article on the "gamble" of independence and used another image of the well-thumbed Scot stereotype to illustrate it.

This isn't really a change of pace for The Economist either. Their front cover ahead of the independence vote in 2014 used the exact same trope.

Sylvina Tilbury had had enough of this particular portrayal of Scots, and responded with a tweet of her own saying "I'm a 40 year old English-born, married, working mum of two, and I support Scottish Independence. Join in if you do too."

Tilbury told The National she began the hashtag because of "the Economist article that was illustrated with a blue-faced raving Braveheart-type Scottish man."

"I felt it was really important to put on record that the vast majority of independence supporters are ordinary people with ordinary lives who just want the best future for their families."

It wasn't long before others began to share their own stories of "ordinariness" using the hashtag #OrdinaryScots4Indy and soon it was trending across Scotland.
