Four people have been arrested after protesters clashed with police as they demonstrated against coronavirus lockdown measures.
A small crowd gathered at Holyrood at around 12pm on Monday to take part in the Scotland Against Lockdown event.
Community liaison officers warned those who were in attendance that they would face a fine if they stay at the location, however many refused to leave.
