More than 9000 people have stated on the rally’s Facebook page that they plan to attend today’s event, which starts at 1pm.

It will follow Saturday’s pro-independence protest, which also saw thousands of people gather outside the parliament, waving saltires and listening to speeches from campaigners.

The SNP has seen its membership dramatically increase in the wake of the referendum.

A petition calling for a “revote of the Scottish Referendum, counted by impartial international parties” has been signed by more than 93,000 people on change.org.
