Journey to Independence – a Cross Country Convoy!
Join Fiona and Marlene as they hop aboard the Borders Railway for a cheerful journey to Galashiels! In this episode, we’re connecting with the grassroots heart of Scottish independence—meeting some of the passionate activists who’ve organized a saltire covered independence convoy touring the Scottish Borders towns.
Along the way, we catch up with SNP candidate Calum Kerr to chat about what’s happening on the ground, what’s inspiring local communities, and what independence means to the people making it happen in the Borders.
It’s part travelogue, part political deep-dive and a snapshot at what activists are up to in Scotland right now. And you can watch the video on our YouTube channel here.
For all our pre-election coverage have a look at our playlist: Countdown to Holyrood 2026.

- 14:15 Chatting to Convoy co-organisers Ruth Ritchie and Shirley Sharpe
