	This year, when Pride was to be held in Glasgow, the organisers announced they would be splitting from Pride Scotia, forming their own organisation, which they called [[Pride Glasgow]]. Pride Scotia will still continue to run in Edinburgh every 2 years as it has done previously. The re-launched festival was held on the August 30th 2008 and was attended by approx 5000 people, and involved a march from Blythswood Square to George Square with a rally and speeches from [[Nicola Sturgeon]] deputy first minister, [[Irfan Rabbani]] [[Glasgow City Council]] Equalities spokesperson [[Bruce Fraser]] Chief Executive of Gay Men's Health and [[Patrick Harvie]] MSP and leader of the [[Scottish Green Party]].

	Keeping with tradition, this year's Pride was held in Edinburgh, on the 19th of June. Assembly in East London Street. In keeping with the two previous Edinburgh prides, the route followed was Broughton Street, Leith Street, Princes Street, the Mound, George IV Bridge, and down Middle Meadow Walk into the Meadows. The route passed the then-current home of the [[Scottish Parliament]], and the headquarters of the [[Bank of Scotland]], which had earlier that year been the scene of protests against the [[Pat Robertson]] deal. The lesbian drummer band Commotion, near the head of the procession, ceased playing in silent protest as the march passed the bank, and many marchers followed an informal call to "boo the bank".
