YES events across Scotland are coming thick and fast and today it is Edinburgh’s turn to host what could be another sizeable demonstration of the renewed thirst for independence.
The Edinburgh Yes Hub is looking to continue the movement’s onward momentum with today’s rally at leafy Inch Park on the south side of the capital.
The event will take place between 1pm and 5pm and will feature some excellent speakers, including The National columnist Paul Kavanagh and his Wee Ginger Dug.
As we reported in midweek, there will also be an exhibition about Jacobite history.
Rain is forecast for the Edinburgh area this afternoon, so make sure and dress accordingly if you are attending.
“It is our third organised Inch rally,” said Mike Blackshaw of the Hub.
“We have involved the local community and three of our speakers are from the Inch.
“We have a great line-up of speakers and musicians, as well as the usual selection of stalls, including a tombola, a bouncy castle and face painting.
“The weather looks a challenge but, after all, we are in Scotland.”
The Inch Park is located next to the Cameron Toll Shopping Centre with access either from Old Dalkeith Road (A7) or Gilmerton Road (A772). The rally’s location is at the southern end of the Park near Glenallan Drive off Gilmerton Road.
More details about the rally and how to get to Inch Park can be found at the Yes Cafe Edinburgh South website.
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!
