Police called to 'unplanned' anti-lockdown protest in Glasgow city centre
One witness said about 1,000 people were taking part
Police have been called to manage an "unplanned" anti-lockdown demonstration in Scotland's largest city.
The protest is believed to have been organised by Scotland Against Lockdown, a group that runs campaigns against mandatory facemasks, the Scottish and UK Governments' Coronavirus Act 2020, social distancing and mandatory vaccines, according to its social media pages.
Protesters gathered at Glasgow Green at 1pm on Saturday and, according to police, they have begun an unplanned procession through the city centre.

Crowds of activists marched in Argyle Street during what the campaign group called a "Freedom Rally".
Some of them were pictured carrying placards saying "Do you trust your 'govern'ment with your life?" and "vaccine passports means your body will be owned by the state forever".
One witness said about 1,000 people were taking part.
A police spokesman said: "Officers are currently facilitating an unplanned procession in Glasgow City centre to ensure public safety and minimise disruption to the community."
