We are Aberdeen Independence Movement (AIM) a non-partisan, pro-independence group based in the North East of Scotland, making the local case for independence, prioritising issues that affect Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

In partnership with The National, AIM has distributed 100,000 special-edition newspapers, with contributions from a wide range of local voices covering a diverse selection of topics.
