Everything you need to know about the All Under One Banner march in Elgin next week

SCOTTISH independence supporters from across the country will gather in Elgin for All Under One Banner's (AUOB) March and Rally for Independence on August 3.

Alba and Salvo will be represented at the event, and the Moray Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Freeports Action Group will also be in attendance

AUOB members said the march and rally – the organisation's first since the General Election – was meant to draw attention to the indy movement in the face of the new Labour government.

Tony Cox, the organiser of the march, said: "Like [the Conservatives, Labour] have no real answers to reversing British economic decline or the spiralling cost-of-living crisis faced by countless families."

Sean Mellon, the head steward for the march, added: "No matter the result of the recent election, the desire for Scotland to become an independent country has not wavered.

"All Under One Banner will continue to hold demonstrations countrywide until this has been achieved."

Speakers will include Alba activist Fiona Campbell and Salvo member Pat Lee.

The organisers are working to confirm more speakers before the event starts.

The procession will start at Elgin's Doocot Park at 11.30am, proceeding to Cooper Park for the rally, which starts around 1pm.

The march will proceed from Doocot Park via New Elgin Road, Moss Street, Moray Street, Hay Street, Northfield Street, High Street, North College Street, the A96 and South College Street.
