THE All Under One Banner March saw thousands of people from across Scotland and beyond come together to march for Scottish independence.
Starting in Kelvingrove Park, the march made its way through Glasgow's city centre, ending on Glasgow Green.
While the weather was widely described as "drookit", tens of thousands of people braved the drizzle to stand up for their beliefs.
In typical Scottish Twitter fashion, the even has turned out some weird, wacky and hilarious tweets. Here are some of the ones we found while following the march on the newsdesk:
Scotland's national animal joined the march
While some countries have birds, and others choose big cats, Scotland went all out when it chose the unicorn as its national animal.
Seen here in attendance, a massive model unicorn covered in saltires joined the call for independence.
What do we want? Independence

Some cheeky signs made us chuckle
The current prime minister has been a major reason for former-No voters changing beliefs, and he was the subject of many cheeky placards.

Dressing for the weather like a true Scot
Be it rain or shine, Scots are known for their hardiness. Of course, not many Scots went as far as wearing shorts to the rally, but there were a few ...

A great display of attendance with the streets filled with marchers
Not seen an independence march with this much energy before. Lots of young people & loudly anti-Tory. Maybe, just maybe this General Election aftermath will be the tipping point. #AUOBGlasgow pic.twitter.com/nAi6hZvwij

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!
