EU Referendum: Scots Say 'Stay In' - in the Most Scottish Way Possible

Some of Scotland's top musicians joined forces to lead Scots from all walks of life in a "Strip the Willow" dance in front of the parliament building in Edinburgh.​

As the "flashmob ceilidh" kicked off, Scottish politicians and their staff joined hundreds of members of the public outside Holyrood, with politicians from Scottish Labour, Scottish Liberal Democrats and the Scottish National Party showing cross party support for a vote to stay in the EU.

As one of the dancers told Sputnik, this was their way of saying "Scotland is sick of Project Fear."  LAU fiddler, Aidan O'Rourke, was one of the organizers of the event and told Sputnik it was time to send a positive message:

"We just wanted to do something positive on the day before the election. The whole thing has got so messy and so negative, we just thought, let's gather loads of positive people, positive musicians and make a positive statement."

Scottish politics blogger, Roddy Macdonald, told Sputnik:

"If you're anything like me, you are pig sick of both campaigns and music is a far better way of saying stay in than any of the hellish arguments that have been rehearsed so far."

The Scottish ceilidh dance "Strip the Willow" is hugely popular at Scottish weddings and parties and consists of spinning couples moving down a long chain of people, usually resulting in much hilarity and dizziness.

With less than 24 hours until voting begins, many are speculating that a high remain vote in Scotland may be what tips the vote away from a Brexit.
