It will be assuring the other Member States of the European Union that we are to strike off the shackles that have bound us to England for 290 years when bribery and corruption was used to sell out Scotland to the Whig oligarchy despite all the public protest.

And it will claim it's undisputed right as one of the ancient nations of Europe to regain its place at Europe's top table.

Lecturing on the principles of freedom half a century ago, wartime premier Sir Winston Churchill declared:"This means that the people of any country have the right and should have the power by constitutional action, to choose or change the character of the form of government under which they dwell; that freedom of speech and thought should reign; that courts of justice, independent of the executive, unbiassed by any party, should administer laws which have received the broad assent of large majorities or are consecrated by time or custom. Here are the title deeds of freedom which should lie in every cottage home."

Grand words spoken by the man honoured as England's greatest ever leader.

Words we can readily accept along with the clear invitation to use those symbolic "title deeds of freedom," of which he speaks.

Indeed the invitation presents itself on Thursday at every polling station in our land.

Ponder it well, for it comes at a time when Scotland has reached a cross-roads.

The road that leads to a free and strong Scotland is there for us all to take.

I sincerely hope we walk it together.
