THROUGHOUT the election campaign we’ve looked in-depth at every constituency and regional list in Scotland, with expert James Kelly offering his predictions ahead of the crucial May 6 vote.
Our reporter Abbi Garton has also been travelling Scotland and visiting the key battleground areas, talking to voters and candidates and getting a sense of what’s to come on Thursday.
This week our digital team has a series of special online content – from how the regional list system works, to a poll on voting intentions, to the pro-independence manifestoes at a glance.
Today we’re publishing a list of every single candidate running on a pro-independence platform this Thursday.
Below, find a list of every constituency and its pro-indy options, followed by the regional list choices.

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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
