Children's writer, Lari Don, was one of the guests at the Yes Scotland launch. In the first of a series of backstage interviews, which we will be running over the next few days, Lari sets out why she believes Scotland should be an independent country.
For Lari, being independent means knowing who you are and taking responsibility for yourself, something that is as important for us as individuals as for a nation.
If you agree with Lari, you can sign the yes Declaration and join the thousands of other Scots who are saying Yes to an independent Scotland.
