Ukip leader Nigel Farage will speak to candidates and followers in Scotland by video link at a general election campaign launch.
The party will launch its Scottish campaign for the forthcoming election at Renfield St Stephens Church Centre in Glasgow on Saturday.
Ukip MEP David Coburn, the party's only elected member in Scotland, and Scottish chairman Arthur Misty Thackeray will join speakers from around the UK.
Blair Smillie, prospective parliamentary candidate for the North Wales constituency of Alyn and Deeside and the great grandson of Labour Party founder member Robert Smillie, will make an appeal to "blue-collar" workers to support Ukip.
Melanie Hurst, prospective candidate for Wansbeck in Northumberland, will talk about women and Ukip.
David Souter, Ukip national head of candidates, will give an overview of the general election campaign and make a new policy announcement.
Explaining Mr Farage's decision to appear by video link, Mr Thackeray said: "Nigel is not really doing any public appearances around the country.
"He is very focused on the campaign for Thanet, as it is obviously very important that we get him elected there, but he will be in Glasgow on screen rather than in person."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
