THE SNP have lit up famous locations across Scotland ahead of voters across the country going to the polls tomorrow.
In recent days, the party's campaign team projected the SNP logo and part slogans onto locations in Scotland's biggest cities and other recognisable Scottish locations.
They include the Glasgow Science Centre, the V&A Museum in Dundee, Edinburgh Castle, Kessock Bridge in Inverness and the Fairy Glen in Skye.
Tomorrow's election is likely to be the most important in the history of devolution in Scotland and polls indicate that there will be a pro-independence parliament returned to Holyrood but the prospect of an SNP majority is on a knife-edge.
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon was urging Scots to get out and vote today as part of the SNP's campaign tour of the country.
Sturgeon said: "The result of every Scottish Parliament election is always on a knife-edge, nothing can be taken for granted – so please don’t leave it to chance: make it both votes SNP.
“The SNP is the only party with an immediate plan to get Scotland through the covid pandemic.
“And the SNP is the only party with a serious programme for government to kick-start economic recovery, to remobilise our NHS and to tackle the climate crisis - but to get that serious government people have to vote for it.
“The London based parties have fought the most negative campaign in the history of devolution with every one of them openly admitting they don’t want or expect to form a government. Instead, they want to leave Scotland’s future in the hands of Boris Johnson.
“To avoid that risk I am asking the people of Scotland to re-elect me as First Minister so I can get on with the job of keeping Scotland safe and to lead the country to a better, brighter future.
“I’m ready to get back to work, to take the difficult decisions, and to put Scotland first.
“By giving both votes to the SNP tomorrow people will get experienced leadership, a serious programme for government, and when the Covid crisis is over the right to decide whether Scotland should be an independent country.”
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!
