BELIEVE in Scotland (BiS) has submitted applications to host two national rallies in 2024.
Announced on social media on Wednesday evening, the group has put forward applications to host a Glasgow march and rally and an Edinburgh one too.
The independence campaign group previously teamed up with one of its affiliated national Yes groups, Yes for EU, to host their first march in Edinburgh on September 2 this year.
The two will partner up again to deliver the Edinburgh rally, and Pensioners for Indy will assist in hosting the groups first ever rally in Glasgow.

Marchers headed down the Royal Mile to the Scottish Parliament in September, where a rally hosted by Kelly Given and Alistair Heather took place.
Speakers at the event included Lesley Riddoch, Humza Yousaf and the Minister for Independence Jamie Hepburn.
The First Minister said that Scotland was suffering from a "cost of the Union" crisis and that independence is needed now "more than ever".
Several high-profile guests are expected to speak at the future events including actor Brian Cox, who pulled out of the rally in Edinburgh last-minute due to catching Covid. He said at the time he hoped to make the next one.

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!
