Am Buidheann Dubh ([əm ˈpujən̪ˠ ˈt̪uh]; Scottish Gaelic for the Black Gang) is a group of self-described "nationalists" and "guerilla artists" whose aim is to raise awareness of Scottish independence. They have anonymously placed banners and signs, usually in Gaelic, in highly visible public places around Glasgow.

The group claimed to have:

placed a banner on Glasgow's Squinty Bridge

placed a tag in Glasgow Cathedral to commemorate Robert Wishart, a former bishop of Glasgow and friend of Robert the Bruce who is at the heart of a campaign to erect a memorial over his, to date, unmarked grave

placed a gag on a statue of Robert Burns during Burns Night to draw attention to censorship of Burns in his era
