A SCOTTISH independence campaign day is set to take place this weekend in Dumfries and Galloway.
Believe in Scotland (BiS) has teamed up with local campaign group Yes Moffat for a day of action in the area.
The campaign day will take place on Saturday, May 11, where activists will be delivering pro-Scottish independence materials through doors in Moffat, with stalls also being set up along the high street which reflect “visions of [Scotland’s] future”.

They will be joined by the Yes Bikers, Future Voices, the Dumfries and Galloway Indy Hub and a stall set up by BiS.
As part of the day of action, the group is also putting on a series of activities which explore Moffat's relationship with William Wallace, including stories from the Medieval Bruce Heritage Trust and ancient weaponry from the Wallace Armourers, For any children attending, there will also be a treasure hunt and face painting available.
BiS aims to collaborate with other local Yes groups on campaign days throughout 2024.
Those attending have been asked to arrive at Saint Andrew’s Church of Scotland (1 Church Place, Moffat, DG10 9ES) at 10.45am to get ready, before setting off at 11am and meeting back at 1.30pm for refreshments.
The campaign day is due to end at 2.30pm.

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!
