#YesBecause hashtag takes twitter by storm as one million sign indy declaration

Yesterday the Scottish independence referendum took over twitter when ordinary people began tweeting messages containing their reasons for supporting a Yes vote in September's historic ballot.

However few were prepared for the volume of tweets that saw the hashtag #YesBecause dominate twitter, becoming one of the most trended tags in the world.

Messages from tens of thousands of people shot #YesBecause to the top of the twitter trending league across the UK.

The #YesBecause hashtag was the brainchild of the Yes supporting movement National Collective which has seen artists and creatives come together in order to promote the benefits of Scottish independence.

The #YesBecause phenomenon has also led to an inspirational video from the fledgling film company Independence Live.
