WATCH: Dunblane families among hundreds at US gun law protest in Edinburgh

Hundreds - including survivors and loved ones of the Dunblane massacre - have gathered to protest against US gun laws in Edinburgh.

They gathered at the U.S. Consulate in the capital as part of the 'March For Our Lives' demonstration, to call for tighter gun control in the States. Across the world thousands are taking part in similar marches.

It follows a deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. A gunman killed 17 kids there on Valentine's Day.

Pupils have been demanding change since the shooting and calling on President Donald Trump to take action.

In 1996 a gunman killed 16 schoolkids and their teacher at Dunblane Primary, and recently a group of those impacted by the tragedy created the campaign 'Dunblane Stands With Parkland', sending a message to the students in America. It went viral online and has been shared thousands of times.

At the March today, Catherine Wilson read 'A Poem For Parkland' - a poem she had written herself lending support to those in Florida. She lost her sister Mhairi in the Dunblane massacre.

She spoke to Forth News about why it was so important for her to speak up.

Our senior reporter Hope Webb also spoke to Jack Crozier, who attended the march today. He lost his sister Emma in the Dunblane massacre.
