Believe in Scotland – March and Rally for Scottish Independence

Saturday 28 March 2026 - Edinburgh

Believe in Scotland will return to the streets of Edinburgh on Saturday 28 March 2026 for a national March and Rally for Scottish Independence, and we want to see you there.

With the next Scottish Parliament election just weeks away, this is a vital moment to put independence at the heart of the national conversation. Our marches and rallies bring people together from across Scotland to show that the movement for independence is positive, determined, and preparing to win.

Join us and march side by side with fellow supporters to send a clear message: Scotland’s future should be decided in Scotland, not in London.

Event Details

Gather:
From 11:30am – High Street / Old Parliament Square, Royal Mile

March Starts:
12:00pm

The march will proceed down the Royal Mile before heading up to Calton Hill, one of the most iconic locations in Scotland’s independence movement and the site of major rallies during the 2014 referendum campaign.

For those unable to take part in the full march, you are welcome to join the procession at the bottom of Regent Road or go directly to the rally site on Calton Hill.

There will also be a continuous accessible bus service running from 12.00pm to 3.30pm taking people up and down Calton Hill to the rally site for those that feel they can not make the walk. You can read more and register for the service here
