A group of Scottish Independence campaigners plan to occupy around 70 bridges across the M8 motorway between Glasgow and Edinburgh.

YesM8Scotland want to populate bridges with pedestrian access in a "show of strength" for the cause.

The "peaceful" demonstrations will take place for two hours on April 7, the nearest Saturday to the anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath.

A statement on the event Facebook page reads: "We want to populate as many bridges with footpaths across the M8 with our flags and banners. The point is peaceful, law abiding profile raising.

"It’s about being seen.

"It’s not about traffic disruption.

"It’s about raising awareness and letting people know Yes is still there."

The protests are scheduled to run from 11am - 1pm on Saturday, April 7.
