Dossier: local campaigning and how groups organise

Scotland's constitutional debate has been carried as much by local groups as by parties. This dossier looks at how such groups work, where they are strong and weak, and the rules they operate under.

• Edinburgh in 2017

  Street stalls, the Festival, hubs and alliances in a city that voted No and Remain.

• Dumfries and Galloway and the independence question

  A border region with a two-to-one No vote and many English-born residents.

• Constitutions, AGMs and office bearers

  Legal forms, charity law and the rules on referendum spending.

• The Hope over Fear rallies

  George Square and the anniversary gatherings after 2014.

• Badges, leaflets and T-shirts

  The material culture of the 2014 campaign and the rules on imprints.
