Organisers believe 100,000 people attended the march in Edinburgh
THE All Under One Banner march for Scottish Independence on Saturday [7 October] has been touted as the biggest ever independence march in Scottish history.
Organisers said 100,000 attended on the day. The march through the capital follows demonstrations in Glasgow, Dumfries, Bannockburn and Dundee, and comes just as the SNP Annual Conference begins in Glasgow.
Below are videos and pictures of the demonstration from CommonSpace and others who were present in Edinburgh on Saturday.

Cramming the huge volume (2h20m worth) of marchers into 2m20s was a challenge. Steady flow of people walking up the hill past our camera and the way the march was broken up into chunks adds some chaotic elements to the timelapse. pic.twitter.com/Ojmd3k2R0d

There is a whole other section of the march which stopped before the rally just after the parliament. Could be 10000 at this bit. Hard to get a handle on numbers but it’s a big demo. #AUOBEdinburgh pic.twitter.com/AVFAyFFtdX
