Alex Salmond to host indyref anniversary event

AN event marking the 10-year anniversary of the 2014 Scottish independence referendum is set to take place next month, featuring key figures from the Yes campaign.

The Scottish Independence Referendum 10 years on… event, presented by Slainte Media, will take place on September 14 at Glasgow Science Centre.

The event will reflect on the 2014 campaign, its impact on Scottish politics over the following decade, and various expectations and ambitions for the next decade.

The lineup of speakers is set to be announced over the next week, with former first minister Alex Salmond – who led the Yes campaign in 2014 – and veteran broadcaster Bernard Ponsonby named as the first guests.

Commenting, Salmond (below) said: “It'll be great to be among friends and campaigners reflecting on the most important political event in our history. One which energised a whole nation and inspired a new generation of Scots.

“However, the most important thing is looking forwards and analysing how we get Scotland out of the current Slough of Despond and back onto the front foot."

The event will take place on September 14 from 6pm to 10.30pm at the IMAX Theatre at Glasgow Science Centre.
