I am definitely a 'Yes', I'm an avid 'Yes' supporter. I've always been of that opinion that Scotland should stand up and make its own mark.

Everyone's influenced by what their parents say and I've totally immersed myself in Scottish traditions and when you are so involved in culture and the heritage of your country and obviously want to drive that forward, I think independence will be the best way to do that.
