Nov 7,2021 8:35 pm

Thousands of Scottish independence campaigners marched through The Streets of Glasgow during The Coronation .

The Event , organised by All Under One Banner, culminated in a rally in Glasgow Green where ex-First Minister Alex Salmond addressed The Crowd .

Other speakers included SNP MP Joanna Cherry and party leadership candidate Ash Regan .

Traffic was brought to a standstill as the saltire-waving supporters set off from Kelvingrove Park in The West end.

At The Rally Mr Salmond told The Crowd : " The Independent Scotland we seek will be based on equality not aristocracy and on human talent and ability not entitlement of birth.

" We Are not looking backwards with Britain But forwards to a better Scotland"

SNP leadership candidate Kate Forbes was also scheduled to speak But on Saturday due to flu.

Organisers that More Than 20,000 people took part in The March .

In the independence referendum in 2014, Scotland voted against becoming an independent country by.

Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon had said she wanted a vote to take place on 19 October this year.

But last November The The Scottish Government cannot hold an independence referendum without the UK government's consent.

Since becoming First Minister , Humza Yousaf has demanded a Section 30 order - to allow another referendum - But that has not been accepted by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak .

Earlier in the week Mr Salmond said Police Scotland should have staged a " standoff" outside Edinburgh Castle to prevent The Stone of Destiny from being moved to London for The Coronation .

He Said such a move could have been used as a bargaining tool in The Push for a second independence referendum.

The Stone was taken to London last week after First Minister Humza Yousaf attended a ceremony during which it was removed from its Resting Place at The Castle .

The Stone has been used to crown monarchs of Scotland, and later the UK, in a tradition dating back centuries.

But Mr Yousaf dismissed the suggestion of involving The Police , and said it would have " not been The Right thing to do".

Meanwhile, Our Republic, which campaigns for an elected head of state, is staging a protest in Edinburgh.

The Event on Calton Hill includes speeches from Scottish Government minister and Scottish Greens co-leader Lorna Slater , as well as SNP MP Tommy Sheppard and Green MSP Maggie Chapman .
