It comes the day after a YouGov poll found that Yes would win an independence referendum if it was certain that Scotland would rejoin the European Union.
How can I watch the speech?
It is likely that most major broadcasters, including the BBC and Sky News, will have the speech available to view in some format.
It’s also worth keeping an eye on the SNP’s social media channels as they may also choose to broadcast the speech.
What else is happening on the anniversary?
Believe in Scotland has also organised a number of rallies to take place across the country on the anniversary, including one at the Scottish Parliament.

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!
