YES activists will march on BBC Scotland’s headquarters this weekend after the Supreme Court blocked indyref2.
All Under One Banner (AUOB) have announced their static protest outside the corporation’s Glasgow headquarters will now begin as a march, starting at McLellan Arch before setting off to Pacific Quay.
The group said that it was making the move in light of the “outrageous” decision by the UK’s highest court, which ruled on Wednesday Scotland did not have the right to hold a second referendum without Westminster’s permission.

They tweeted: “Due to the outrageous decision by the UK Supreme court today and the strength of public feeling about this, we will now be marching to the BBC on Saturday.”
And they urged supporters: “Let's make it massive.”
She told supporters: “Fundamentally, our job today is the same as it was yesterday.
"It is to persuade a majority of the Scottish people of the fact that independence is the best future for Scotland - and ensure a democratic process that allows majority support to be established beyond doubt.
"We have work to do. Let us inspire with hope in our hearts.
"With optimism, confidence and determination - let’s get on and finish the job. Together, let’s secure independence for Scotland.”
Police Scotland was approached for comment.
The march sets off from McLellan Arch, the main entrance to Glasgow Green at the Saltmarket, at 12.30pm.
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!
