Britain-Scotland-Independence-Vote

A dog is seen with a Pro-Union No sticker on its head as supporters gather during a rally in Edinburgh on September 14, 2014. Scots head to the polls on September 18, 2014 for an independence referendum that could end its three centuries old union with England and create Europes newest country since the collapse of Yugoslavia. Campaigners for and against Scottish independence scrambled for votes ahead of a historic referendum, as a religious leader prayed for harmony after polls showed Scots were almost evenly split.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ben Stansall, the atmosphere in Edinburgh during the Scottish independence referendum is palpable. Amidst a sea of passionate supporters, a dog stands out with a Pro-Union No sticker adorning its head. The image serves as a powerful symbol of the divided sentiments that engulfed Scotland at that time. The impending vote on September 18,2014, marked a pivotal moment in history for both Scotland and England. It held the potential to dissolve their three-century-old union and establish Europe's newest country since Yugoslavia's disintegration. As campaigners from opposing sides scrambled for votes, tensions ran high across the nation. This photograph encapsulates not only the political fervor but also highlights how deeply ingrained this issue was within society. Even our four-legged friends became part of this heated debate, inadvertently wearing their allegiances on display. As Scots headed to the polls, uncertainty loomed over whether unity or separation would prevail. The image prompts us to reflect on questions of identity and sovereignty while reminding us that even animals can become unwitting participants in significant historical events. Ben Stansall's lens captures an extraordinary moment where politics transcends human boundaries and seeps into every corner of society – even onto man's best friend.
