From Perth where crowds parted in the High Street to let Dougie Maclean pass singing Caledonia with a backing choir of surprised shoppers, to the flashmob that filled George Square with dancing Yes campaigners last week. From Bearsden where a single brave mum and her daughter sat on a wooden bench beside a main road with balloons and a giant Yes sign turned towards the oncoming traffic, to Yes campaigners in Edinburgh who turned up to welcome members of the marching Orange Order to their town – there have been uplifting, life-affirming, positive events aplenty. Outpourings of good- will, and creative sunny optimism from Scots that would never have been expected by Scots. Events and moments folk would give their eye teeth to witness in a life too often filled with duty and politically correct pessimism at best and gut-rotting benefit-cut-induced despair at worst.
