Celebrities led the final day of campaigning for the Yes camp with a rally in the centre of Glasgow.
Actors Elaine C Smith and Martin Compston joined singer Ricky Ross to generate support. Smith took hold of the loudspeaker to tell the crowds on the steps of the Royal Concert Hall to "change the world".
"What it takes to change the world is a pencil and a piece of paper on a ballot, and putting your cross on Yes can change the world," she said.
She urged Scots to "get out there and vote for a future and vote for hope". Smith said the way politicians in Westminster had handled the referendum campaign had been "arrogant" and voters did not feel listened to.
"We can actually do something about this and bring about a wonderful change in democracy for the whole of the UK," she said.
More than a hundred pro-independence campaigners turned out for the event. Compston said Scotland's "political soul" had been re-awakened but suggested that "scaremongering" pro-union politicians should play no part in the country if it goes independent.
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
