March and Rally for Scottish Independence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The March and Rally for Scottish Independence was a demonstration in support of Scottish independence that had taken place in Scotland's capital, Edinburgh, in both 2012[1] and 2013.[2] It was originally set to take place again in 2014, shortly before the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, but it was called off as "the focus [in 2014] has got to be on persuading the many undecided voters all over Scotland, crucially in their own communities, and that will call for different types of events".[3]

The March and Rally was organised by Jeff Duncan ,Allan Hendry and Anne McMillan[4] and was part of the official Yes Scotland campaign.[1]
