SCOTTISH actor and independence supporter Alan Cumming is due to appear at a major independence event this October.

Due to take place on Saturday October 14, the Chain of Freedom will see independence supporters stand together on various canals to show their support for the Yes movement.

In the video, Cumming says: “What’s going to happen is, people who support independence from all walks of life, from all political parties, let’s leave political partisanship to one side, we’re all going to stand together on the canals, the Union, Forth and Clyde canals in an act of solidarity for independence for Scotland.

“I hope you can join us.”

Cumming has long been a supporter of Scottish independence and has regularly used his platform to promote his views on his home country.

He has appeared in the likes of X-Men, Goldeneye and hit show The Good Wife as well as the US edition of The Traitors.  

Cumming has regularly spoken about why he believes Scotland would be better outside the UK and back inside the EU.

He also handed back his OBE due to his “misgivings” with being associated with the “toxicity” of the British Empire.

He backed the Yes campaign in 2014 and previously declared that he would return to Scotland to do the same for indyref2.

Asked on BBC’s The Nine about his support for a second referendum, Cumming previously said: “I think if anything has changed since the last referendum in the political situation it would be to me, that it is more obvious now that Scotland can do better itself and that Westminster does not have Scotland’s interests at heart.”
