Welcome to Yes Scotland International
Yes Scotland International (YSI) is a global movement connecting Scots at home and abroad with one shared purpose to see Scotland recognised as a normal, independent nation.
We bring together the Scottish diaspora, international allies, and everyone who believes in democracy, equality, and the right of a people to decide their own future.
From Edinburgh to New York, Sydney to Vancouver, and every Scottish heart in between, we exist to make sure the world understands Scotland’s story not as a region of another state, but as a nation with a distinct history, culture, and constitutional right to self-determination.
Why We Exist
For centuries, Scotland’s identity and resources have been intertwined with the British state. But the truth — Scotland remains a nation in its own right, with its own laws, institutions, and people who never surrendered sovereignty.
Our mission is to educate, connect, and amplify:
-
Educate the world about Scotland’s constitutional history and democratic rights.
-
Connect Scots across the world to strengthen national and cultural bonds.
-
Amplify Scotland’s voice internationally through storytelling, media, and action.
Why It Matters
Because Scotland’s future belongs to its people all of us, wherever we live.
Every Scot abroad is part of a living global network with the power to influence how the world sees our nation.
When the world understands Scotland’s case for independence rooted in history, democracy, and fairness international recognition follows.
And when Scots everywhere speak with one voice, Scotland’s sovereignty becomes impossible to ignore.
