Thousands of people have taken part in a march in support of Scottish independence.
Organisers All Under One Banner estimate that 17,000 people marched through Glasgow in the event, which they said was "the biggest Indy march in Scottish history".
The procession started at Kelvingrove Park in the west end and wound its way through the city centre to Glasgow Green for a rally.

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.
