Events galore are in motion this year to ensure Yes stays top of the agenda and one of the biggest blockades to success is the lack of knowledge that they are in fact happening.
That is why we have created this list to keep everyone up-to-date. It will be updated constantly so keep checking in. If you or a group have an event, let us know at reporters@thenational.scot

Let us know if your area or group is having an event!
If you or a group have a grassroots event, let us know and we can send one of our team to report! For example: Yes Carrick and AyeFyne have invited us to report and chat with their groups - we'll be heading to Straiton and Lochgilphead.
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
