BELIEVE in Scotland (BiS) is to host the first of several local campaign days this weekend, with stalls and leafleting planned for Perth.
The umbrella independence campaign group plans to link up with Yes groups throughout the year to facilitate and amplify campaign efforts in specific areas, with Perth being the first.
BiS currently has 142 affiliated grassroots Yes Groups with its campaign managed by a national campaign steering group.
Activists are invited to head to Perth city centre on Saturday, February 3 at 10.30am to campaign alongside local group members, as well as Pensioners for Independence. They are aiming to deliver over 3000 leaflets during the day.

Participants plan to set off at 11am and meet back at the main hub or stall at 2pm for lunch.
The day comes before the group's Scottish independence congress on Saturday, February 17, which will consist of panel discussions, live voting and presentations on campaign strategy.
The full agenda for the event will be made available in due course, and each group can send along two voting delegates to the congress.

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!
