Pro-indy supporters marched from Kelvingrove to Glasgow Green
THOUSANDS of pro-independence supporters marched through Glasgow yesterday in one of a series of rallys in Scotland.
Organisers All Under One Banner (AUOB) said that they hoped somewhere in the region of 40,000 people would take part. It remains unclear how many people were in attendance.
Indy supporters were draped in Saltires and waving Yes flags as they walked from Kelvingrove to Glasgow Green.
Phantom Power, a Twitter user and filmmaker that many may recognise from his Journey to Yes videos, captured the rally on camera with comments from brilliant people taking part.

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!
