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.

" 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 .
