Timber pallets on the peat banks above Drinan, arranged to spell the word "Yes".
This has been done to show support for a Yes vote in the Scottish Independence Referendum, which is to be held on 18th September 2014.
Yes Scotland 2014

Over one million people signed a declaration which reads:

"I believe it is fundamentally better for us all, if decisions about Scotland's future are taken by the people who care most about Scotland, that is, by the people of Scotland.
Being independent means Scotland's future will be in Scotland's hands.
There is no doubt that Scotland has great potential. We are blessed with talent, resources and creativity. We have the opportunity to make our nation a better place to live, for this and future generations. We can build a greener, fairer and more prosperous society that is stronger and more successful than it is today.
I want a Scotland that speaks with her own voice and makes her own unique contribution to the world: a Scotland that stands alongside the other nations on these isles, as an independent nation."

Signs, flags and other visible signs of support for the movement became widespread in the run up to the Referendum on 18th September 2014.
