AN independence march through Stirling attracted around 2000 people as the organisers say it shows people of the Yes movement are "keen to be back on the streets".
The march was organised by All Under One Banner (AUOB) and took place earlier today (September 11).
Videos show thousands of people marching through the city, waving saltires, playing the bagpipes and holding up banners in support of an independent Scotland.

The march began in the north of the city at the old Stirling bridge and went through the centre of Stirling to finish at the Bannockburn field.
AUOB tweeted during the march: "What a turnout today for #AUOBStirling with around 2000 People out loud & proud for Independence Now and the Dissolution of the Union, with the march still growing in size! This shows the movement is keen to be back on the streets.
"The fight for independence is on!"

AUOB said they left Bannockburn field "in a tidier condition than how we found it" after 2000 people marched through the city to the field.
The next AUOB march will take place in Edinburgh in two weekends time on Saturday, September 25.

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!
