A small contingent of Yes supporters held a march across Glasgow today in support of a Home Rule Covenant that has attracted close to 5,000 signatories.
Just over 100 people braced the inclement weather in a March for Home Rule aimed at Lord Smith of Kelvin - the man entrusted to deliver greater powers to Holyrood.
The campaign say a majority of Scots would support domestic autonomy over taxation, revenue, domestic policy, welfare, Crown Estates, Scottish representation in EU negotiations, and Scottish Parliament control over elections.
They also claim any attempt to serve the voters a 'Westminster Carve Up' would fly in the face of the democracy Scotland was promised.
Nick Durie, organiser of the march, said more than 4,700 people had already pledged their support to the covenant since it was launched on Tuesday.
He said: "A lot of voters were led to believe that if they voted no then they would be getting home rule - and the vow from the Westminster parties, with Gordon Brown in particular, was central to that.
"If we don't get home rule out of the Smith Commission then I think it's fairly clear that we were sold a pup.
"Lord Smith needs to listen to the people," he added. "There is really strong support for the covenant, and it's not just from the Nationalist perspective.
"There are lots of people who voted no in the serious belief that they would get democracy for Scotland.
"And if we get the party carve up, which now seems likely, then the referendum really would have been a wasted exercise."
Today's marchers set off from under the Donald Dewar statue on Buchannan Street before visiting Strathclyde University and the headquarters of Scottish and Southern Energy, where Lord Smith acts as chancellor and chairman, respectively.
Shortly afterward, the march headed for the Scottish Labour HQ were they led a mass signing of the Home Rule Covenant, a declaration of full fiscal autonomy for Holyrood.
The Smith Commission is to produce a series of recommendations to outline further devolution of powers by November 30.
Members of the public are invited to help guide the commission with an online consultation.
Those wishing to submit their views can do so through www.smith-commission.scot by October 31.
