A new pro-Scottish independence party has been set up in Glasgow.
The Independence for Scotland Party (ISP) intends to field candidates at the next Holyrood election.
Leader Colette Walker says they'll field regional list candidates when voters go to the polls next year.
She wrote on social media that it's a "great honour" to be a "founder member and leader" of the new party, the Daily Record reports.
She pointed out: "It's been a lot of hard work, but to achieve an independent Scotland is well worth it. Will keep you all posted with further developments."
The party aims to secure a majority of independence supporting MSPs.
A recent opinion poll found the SNP had a huge lead in Scottish Parliament voting intentions, but Nicola Sturgeon has faced internal criticism on a number of fronts.
Senior party figures have been critical of her approach to indyref2 and tensions have flared up on plans to change gender recognition legislation.
Others in the party have been accused by supporters of Alex Salmond, who was recently acquitted of sexual offences charges, of conspiring against him.
According to the Electoral Commission, the ISP was registered as a political party this month and is based at an address in Glasgow.
Joan McDowall is listed as "treasurer", Victoria Johnson is described as the "nominating officer" and Walker is named as the leader.
Walker has in the past stood to be the SNP women's convener.
Her social media post added: "Just for the record, we are not going against the SNP, we are only putting candidates forward for regional list seats, I would seriously hope Nicola and I would want a majority of Indy MSPs in Holyrood in 2021."
Jim Sillars, a former SNP depute leader, recently claimed the fallout from the Salmond trial could lead to a new party being formed.
He wrote: "As the rot is uncovered, the temptation - already being thought of by some - will be to set up something new, untainted, in its place.
"That might need to be done if the damage to come proves fatal. I hope not, because it is not easy to replace and fill the electoral space of a long established organisation."
