68 independence banners delivered to activists across Scotland
Indepndence group Meidas Scotland revealed on social media that 68 banners, printed in Edinburgh, had been delivered to indepndence groups across Scotland after they received funding from a recent Crowdfunder and "a very generous contribution" from Scottish Independence Foundation (SIF).
The large PVC banners feature several designs, including one showing Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, and Keir Starmer labelled as "Tory", and Nigel Farage labelled as "worry".
Another features an image of Keir Starmer, and states: "Getting rid of the Tories changed nothing. Next time let's get rid of Westminster".
The project cost an estimated £2500, and all banners were free to the groups.
In a post on Twitter/X, Medias Scoltland said: "A few weeks ago, we placed an order with Edinburgh Banners to make large Independence related banners supporting Yes groups throughout Scotland.
"As of today, a total of 68 large PVC banners have found new homes right across Scotland, with the final 2 banners on their way to InverYESs this week.
"The banners are fully funded by Meidas Scotland with donations from our recent Crowdfunder and a very generous contribution from Scottish Independence Foundation (SIF)."

The group also shared that artist Colin Dunn (IndyPosterBoy) and campaign organisation Believe in Scotland (BiS) assisted with the artwork.
BiS also co-ordinated with groups under their umbrella, to boost the project and introduce new designs to the public.
Meidas Scotland added: "This initiative brought together four separate groups to deliver an effective messaging campaign for Scottish Independence and we are grateful to all involved."
The group has also requested that independence groups who have received their banner to post pictures.
