ON Wednesday, September 18, we mark 10 years since the 2014 independence referendum.
It's an important date for reflection on the Yes movement, and we'll have an extra jam-packed edition full of readers' memories, thought-provoking essays and special features.
The newspaper also includes an updated, glossy version of an iconic pro-independence poster from 2014, in collaboration with pro-independence campaign group Believe in Scotland.
The poster, which is also set to feature on billboards in Scotland, is a refreshed version of the Vote Yes poster created by graphic artist Stewart Bremner in 2014 - reading "Still Yes".
On top of that there will be exclusive artwork from cartoonist Greg Moodie to look forwards to, and much more.
For Yes groups, we've made it possible to buy copies in bulk – as we know that poster will be in high demand among activists.
Bulk-buy copies of our special anniversary edition here
You can purchase 25 copies, 50 copies, 100 copies, 250 copies, or 1000 copies, here.
We'll have special content looking back on September 18, 2014, all week. There will be must-read interviews, features, opinion pieces and more, starting on Monday and running through to Friday. All content will also appear online.
There'll be livestreams across our social feeds with top activists discussing their highs and lows of the 2014 campaign, so watch out for those on Facebook, X/Twitter and YouTube.
We're now also taking pre-orders for our anniversary book, 10 Years of a Changed Scotland, which features essays from top contributors like Lesley Riddoch, Neal Ascherson and John Curtice.
And there's still time to get a ticket for our in-person anniversary event screening of To See Ourselves, followed by a panel featuring the filmmakers, Keith Brown, and Riddoch.
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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
