Nobody owns Bella. For the most part our writers collective contribute material for free and the site has been run voluntarily for four years. Occasionally we have costs or need to commission some work that needs paid for. Your support is therefore essential in balancing the bias that is present through the media in Scotland.
Bella Caledonia is an online magazine (launched in 2007) exploring ideas of independence, self-determination and autonomy. You can write for it, distribute it or sponsor it. But you can also now support our work by sending donations by cheque payable to ‘Bella Caledonia’ – email us at bellasletters@yahoo.co.uk for details.

Is there a way I could pay a small monthly amount via direct debit to a bank account?
Paypal drove me bonkers yesterday, and said it would take 7 days for money from my personal account to be transferred to my bank account. I’m not letting them profit from me.
Regards,
John

Yippee, just found this site – so good to have some brains who can add a more balance attitude to Scotland. Far too many people in power have the ability to put their name and greed before their country – and sell it out. We need people who will put their country before their career. Gordon Brown for instance – had redrawn the boundary off the coast of England in an attempt to steal Scots oil for the English in case we moved to independence – for what good it did him.
I call those who behave like brown as having the “Roseberry infliction”.

Hi Martin B, we’re doing some publicity material to try and build awareness of the site. We’re also organising a discussion event – and need some funds. All our work is voluntary and most always no-one gets paid for contributions…
Hi folks. I’m trying to find your bank details for donations but can’t seem to locate it. Please point me in the right directon!!!
Cheers

Thank you. Will set up a wee donation sometime this week.
Apologies for the delay but I’ve finally managed to set up a wee donation starting on the 1st June. I would be obliged if you could confirm receipt to ensure that I have got all the details correct.
Have finally managed to set up a small donation. Could you please confirm receipt to ensure I’ve got the details right?
Thanks
Hi, excellant stuff. Will blog a link to your site.
You know I’m a fan. Any chance of adding Scots Renewables to your blogroll?
Yes absolutely – in fact – we’ll create a Green Scotland section…
Hello Bella Can you please confirm receipt of my direct debit?
Thanks

Bell C. …just made 2 posts on Indy march, finding I can only see the first 3 lines of typing the text doesn’t scroll , is this common?
Hi BC. Have been reading and contributing comments for a while. I also work with a great US site called The Greanville Post (TGP) and have passed on links to BC articles. The editor Patrice Greanville would like to be able to post occasional BC articles. And he’d really appreciate it if BC could carry a link to TGP and its Punto Press arm which is publishing Gaither Stewart’s “Europe Trilogy”. Could I post a copy of the recently published second volume (“Lily Pad Roll”) to you for review?
Thanks
Paul

Having vowed never again to spend so much as a penny on those loathsome excuses for newspapers with which this country is cursed, if I set up a Standing Order for £10 a month on the 1st of the month, do you require my name/address or can you simply receive donations from those who might wish to remain ‘Anon’?
I have just returned home from Glasgow having seen an ISG “Break Up Britain” poster. I had never heard of ISG before.
I completely agree with the sentiment behind the aforementioned phrase, but prefer instead to use such terms as “self-determination” or “self-government” and the like, rather than “separation” and “break-up” which are the type of value-laiden and quite innacurate terminology used by the unionists.
I was also surprised to see the map of Geat Britain on this poster. Scotland constitutes one-third the land surface of GB but this map (obviously taken from somewhere near the equator in a BBC type fashion) showed Scotland to be about one sixth of Great Britain.
It brought to mind a political debate I had heard on the radio the previous day in which a woman from south of the border opined that “Scotland is a tiny country”!
The fact that Scotland accounts for one third the land surface of Great Britain, is much the same size as Denmark and is three times larger than Belgium was obviously lost on her! In European terms, Scotland is not a small country!
It seems to me that not only are the people of Scotland being told that we are too poor and too stupid to run our own affairs, we are also being told that our country is much smaller than it actually is.
