Climate change activists have marched down the Royal Mile as they hold five days of action in Edinburgh.

Campaigners from the Extinction Rebellion group started outside Edinburgh Castle and marched to Holyrood where they have set up their so-called 'Holyrood Rebel Camp'.

They plan to be there until Thursday in a bid to put pressure on MSPs who are this week debating the climate bill.

It comes just two months after a large group of activists from the same group took over the city's North Bridge for several hours. Over 30 people were arrested. The group is planning similar disruptive action.
