YESFOREU has announced it will hold a march for independence in Edinburgh on September 2.
The organisation has invited all those who want "independence and EU membership" to join them on the march to the Scottish Parliament where there will be “prominent speakers and lots of joyful music”.
Independence supporters will begin marching from from Johnston Terrace to outside the Parliament, via the Royal Mile. It is set to begin at 2pm.
The march has been approved by the City Council and road closures are to be confirmed. Speakers will also be announced soon.
Do you want Independence AND EU membership?

The announcement follows the group joining the march hosted by Yes2Indee on Saturday, April 1, as well as hosting a stall near St Giles Cathedral before walking to the Parliament.
The group said in a tweet that: “Our stall before the Yes2indee march in Edinburgh was extremely busy!
“There was much interest from tourists, mostly from EU countries, attracted by the EU symbol on our Saltires and logo. They all supported Scottish independence and EU membership.”
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!
