#Indyref: Scottish Referendum Online
The Scottish referendum online debate; YouTube parodies for the Yes Campaign; Better Together鈥檚 highland facebook pages; and more trends from around the world.
Passions are running high in the run up to the Scottish Referendum, when the country will vote for or against independence from the rest of the United Kingdom. The debate is being played out across social platforms in the shape of songs, communities, hashtags and even online abuse, or trolling.

Then to Edinburgh where Anne-Marie met Lady Alba, or Zara Gladman, a 28-year-old volunteer from Glasgow for the Yes Scotland campaign. She鈥檚 making parody videos on YouTube.
