A group of independence campaigners who set up camp outside the Scottish Parliament have lodged an appeal against a court ruling in favour of their eviction.

The Indycamp group set up outside Holyrood in November 2015 and pledged to stay until Scotland gained independence, sparking a seven-month court battle as the parliament's corporate body sought eviction.

Judge Lord Turnbull ruled in favour of the parliament last month and granted their petition to have the campers evicted.

The group lodged an appeal against his ruling at the Court of Session on Tuesday.
