INDEPENDENCE supporters gathered in Dundee today for the latest All Under One Banner (AUOB) march.
The SNP's Stewart Hosie, MP for Dundee East, attended the march and estimated that somewhere in the region of 16,000 people turned out for the event.

AUOB said that they will keep organising demonstrations unti Scotland gains independence.
The city centre was brought to a standstill with the march starting at Baxter Park and ending in Magdalen Park in the West End.

Neil Mackay, organiser with All Under One Banner, told the Courier: “Today was a great day with a lot of support. We are going to continue to keep doing these and put the pressure on the Scottish Government and the media until there is independence.
“The march was brilliant and we are going to tidy Magdalen Park up after us so that we leave it better than we found it.”

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!
