A SCOTTISH independence referendum documentary is set for a screening tour in 2024.
Tickets have gone on sale for several showings of To See Ourselves in Dunfermline, Bo'ness, Stirling, Cumbernauld, and more sites across Scotland.
To See Ourselves – the brainchild of award-winning director Jane McAllister – was previously shown in Glasgow, Dundee, Inverness and Oban.
McAllister captured the footage of the referendum campaign during the summer of 2014, despite having no budget for the film.

While heavily pregnant she followed her father, Yes campaigner Fraser McAllister, as the referendum unfolded in the east coast town of Musselburgh.
The team previously raised £25,000 to fund the post-production editing of the material, as well as its promotion online and in cinemas, through Kickstarter.

McAllister has previously said that fighting for support for the film has been “exhausting”, after failing to make the final selection for the Central Scotland Documentary Festival in Stirling.
The event had been her last hope after being rejected from all other Scottish festivals.
McAllister is concerned that the film’s lack of success on the festival circuit is down to its political nature – and was unsettled to learn that the Central Scotland Documentary Festival screened a film about Brexit from a pro-Remain perspective.
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!
