Resources for YES Groups
I've made a lot of posts about resources for YES groups over the last 3 months, so here is a handy bookmark of links for you.
A collection of photos from YES groups. The collection is in the form of a Flipbook which is online at https://shorturl.at/tmR9R
An online catalogue of most of Colin Dunn’s Independence related material. The work is ideal for use in a rebuttal situation. The benefit of this is to give you plenty of rebuttal messages you can use. All of Colin's artwork can be downloaded free from his website https://indyposterboy.scot/

Our new Crowdfunder “FREE SCOTLAND FROM WESTMINSTER RULE” has raised almost £2,150 so far. https://shorturl.at/48Lez
The National has covered our new campaign and it’s objectives.
I now have a new budget for banners, Correx boards and stickers, so fresh applications from YES groups welcome.
New Initiatives
Two new ideas I’m looking at
Advan
I’ve costed up hiring an Advan similar to the one shown to tour some cities and towns. I’d need local volunteers at each city/town to assist in taking photos, videos, drone videos, advising on best locations to drive past, driving duties and speaking with visitors. As I live in Aberdeenshire, I’d probably need B&B so any recommendations appreciated
Video Brochures
I’ve costed up using Video Brochures similar to the one in this video clip
See article
https://free-scotland.scot/taking-the-message-to-the-voters
I propose setting up a pilot group of 5 YES groups and fund two of these Video Brochures per Group. Each brochure can have 6 videos loaded at a time. Each YES group decides on which videos they think are most appropriate that week and upload to the brochure. If they know of an ‘Undecided’ voter in their area, they leave this with them for say 2-3 days. After 3 days they collect the brochure after first having a chat with them, and repeat with other voters.
Clearly only having two brochures limits reach but extras can be provided. Brochures could be posted, but it defeats the opportunity for eye-to-eye discussion.
The videos on the brochure can be changed easily using a laptop or tablet, so any new rebuttal messages can be added or removed as often as you want.
A brochure typically costs £50 and can be used over and over again.
If you would like to take part in this pilot group please let me know quickly so i can order these. I’ll fully fund these so no cost to groups.
Main Website
The new website FREE-SCOTLAND.scot is coming on and I’ll be adding new material to the Rebuttal Resources and Media Creators soon.
Our YouTube Channel
We do have a YouTube Channel called Media Scotland Network. There are 21 videos, mainly satire, parody and rebuttal.

Finally, please follow Meidas Scotland on Bluesky, ‘X’ and Facebook for updates to our new Crowdfunder
More to come as time allows.
