Who are Believe in Scotland?

Scotland thrives when decisions about Scotland's wellbeing are made in Scotland and not by Westminster politicians in London who put the different priorities of their local voters first. That’s why our focus is clear and determined: securing independence so that our nation can be governed for the benefit all of those that call Scotland home, for our economy, our communities and the environment. We believe that any government chosen by the people of Scotland will always serve us better than a government in Westminster imposing regulations and policies that benefit London and the south east and damage Scotland's wellbeing. 

Believe in Scotland is the national coordinating campaign of the grassroots Scottish independence movement. An umbrella group it is effectively a coalition of 143 local and national Yes Groups. BiS exists to make the case for an Independent Scotland, to reach out to undecided voters and to support the Yes movement with materials, education and messaging both locally and nationally.

As our name suggests, we Believe in Scotland and we want to help others feel the same way.  This site is for anyone with genuine questions, and for those whose heart may say “yes” to independence while their head still says “maybe” or even “no.” Once you engage with the evidence, you’ll find both heart and head start to believe in Scotland.
