NEW billboards promoting Scottish independence have appeared across Glasgow ahead of a march and rally in the city this weekend.
Believe in Scotland revealed the billboards on Wednesday, with four put up near and around the route of this Saturday's march and rally.
The march and rally will include speakers like First Minister Humza Yousaf and Green MSP Ross Greer.
The rally will be hosted by author, broadcaster and model Eunice Olumide and Trad Awards Scots Singer of the Year 2023 Iona Fyfe. This will be followed by a mass campaign day of leafleting in the south side of Glasgow on Sunday.

Posting pictures of two billboards on social media, the group said: "We have rolled these out in Glasgow this week in line with our big indy weekend in the city. We will be rolling out more across Scotland in line with our other events during the year!
"We polled indy supporters at the start of the year and you told us that you want us to do more billboards. So we booked a couple weeks of drive-time electronic billboards. Here is just one of the many we have running across Scotland. #BelieveinScotland - We campaign."
In polling, BiS asked supporters which campaigning activities should be prioritised in 2024.
From 4466 answers, billboards topped the list, ahead of national days of actions and marches.
The group previously said it had been "holding back on this given the expense" but had made the decision to launch the campaign following the polling to coincide with the march for maximum impact.
The group also committed to another campaign of billboards ahead of its Edinburgh march and rally later in 2024.
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!
