Jen Spark, one of the Perth and Kinoss 45 organisers said: Whilst the45 represents the percentage of Scots who voted Yes on 18th October, our groups aim is to reach out way beyond them. To appeal to and in time involve those who also voted No, and convince them that independence is the way forward for Scotland Susan Rennie one of the co-organisers added This rally is just a start, but an important one. By bringing together all the parties and campaign groups who worked so hard during the referendum, we aim to keep the spirit of unity alive. We will be organising a whole range of activities over the next few months to keep people involved and build an even stronger base here in Perth and Kinross MORE INFORMATION The rally will take place in St Matthews Church Hall, Tay Street, Perth, PH1 5TF, from 1pm on Saturday 18th October Members of the media are invited to attend
