In 2014, I talked Scotland down. It was wrong. I’m sorry. I was a Better Together spokesperson. I’ve changed my mind. Scotland has a wonderful future ahead if we become independent. We need a new referendum. Scotland has to choose her path. It is happening.

I’m not a Scottish nationalist. For all former No voters like me it’s important to realise that self determination for Scotland isn’t about nationalism. It’s about common sense. I’m a Scottish pragmatist. We have to be better, kinder and fairer to people. All people.

A flag is a symbol. Those flying the Saltire in Edinburgh want Scotland to be better, kinder, fairer. A country that includes all races and religions, and those with none. A country that doesn’t need food banks. A country that sets her own destiny. That’s a flag worth flying.

Needs to be said. Independence for Scotland has nothing to do with nationalism, tartan or Brigadoon. Scotland wants to govern itself. It’s what all countries around the world do. We can do better running our own affairs. It ain’t nationalist, nationalism, or populism.

As someone who did speeches, media and debates for Better Together back in 2014 I can confirm that this vote No and stay in the EU line wasn’t a myth. It was a core talking point. David Mundell is being utterly dishonest.
David Mundell: “I reject that
