A new poll has given independence its biggest lead since 2022.
🟢 Yes: 56%
🔴 No: 44%
With the powers of a normal, independent country Scotland could do far more tackle inequality, build our public services, and protect our environment.

Brilliant news. I hated voting for the tartan Tory but I wanted independence more than his anti-environment and right wing views www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/msp-fer...
MSP Fergus Ewing: ‘The SNP just is no longer the party for all of Scotland, as it has been for most of my 50 years as a member’
He confirms that ‘with great sadness’ he is to stand down as SNP MSP at the 2026 Holyrood election but may yet stand as an independent.

Just south of Drumochter. Sad to see more muirburn taking place. This is already a man made biodiversity desert where a natural ecosystem could thrive and support many more people. #banmuirburn

This is just one of many moves we are starting to make to get back in the EU.
Well done everyone!

I'm delighted to be the Volunteer Warden for Glencharnoch Woods in Carrbridge. This project has been planned for a while. The excellent manager also added a dragonfly pond and path improvements to the project. #woodlamdtrust #cairngorms #cairngormsnature
We have been taking out lofty Norway spruce like this from #Glencharnoch Wood.
Toppling in one go would damage surrounding native trees and our path so the contractor climbed up to remove all the branches then took the trunks down in sections.🧵 1/2

Loved visiting Denali NP several years ago. I will always call it Denali 🐻
It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali
