The rally started in the west of the city and went through Charing Cross and Sauchiehall Street to George Square, with protesters waving the Saltire, the national flag of Scotland, and banners reading "Yes" in support of independence from the United Kingdom as they headed toward the city center, the Daily Record newspaper reported.
On June 23, the referendum was held in the United Kingdom, in which 51.9 percent of voters supported the country withdrawing from the European Union. At the same time Scotland, as well as Northern Ireland backed retaining membership of the 28-nation bloc, while England and Wales backed Brexit.
Following the referendum outcomes, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said that Scotland would consider to take a vote on independence one more time after a failed attempt in September 2014, claiming that Brexit referendum outcomes neglected its willingness to stay in the European Union.
