Yes Scotland was the organisation representing the parties, organisations, and individuals campaigning for a Yes vote in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum. It was launched on 25 May 2012 and dissolved in late 2014 after Scotland voted against independence.
Yes Scotland's chief executive was Blair Jenkins, and Dennis Canavan was the chair of its advisory board.[1] Stephen Noon, a long term employee and policy writer of the SNP, was Yes Scotland's chief strategist. Its principal opponent in the independence campaign was the unionist Better Together campaign.[2][3][4]
By the formal start of the referendum campaign period in May 2014, it had become the "biggest grassroots movement in Scottish political history", said Jenkins.[5] The campaign did not win independence, but "transformed politics in Scotland", suggested The Herald.[6]
