Listing off what he describes as some of the Scottish government's recent achievements in the cost of living crisis, Swinney tells supporters: "Your SNP government has transformed lives in Scotland and we have a record to be proud of."
"As junior doctors call strike action in England, Scotland is the only place in the UK where there has been no strikes because we have invested in pay for staff," he goes on, saying that the state of the NHS and cost of living remain top priorities for the SNP.
"We will always put Scotland's interests first," Swinney adds as he turns to independence.
He says he's looked closely at other countries in Europe, such as Denmark, Norway and Ireland, as a "model of what is possible" for an independent Scotland: "Those countries are wealthier than the UK, they are fairer with greater equality, they have higher productivity and lower poverty.
Highlighting the country's universities, energy sector and industry, he asks: "Then why not Scotland?"
