The national pro-Palestinian protest in Edinburgh on Saturday ascended the Mound past New College where the General Assembly was convening to install a new Moderator.
There appeared to us to be more people filing down the Royal Mile than in past weeks and months. The protesters had been called to action in a national demonstration by the Gaza Genocide Emergency Committee among other groups. On their Facebook page they had expressed a wish to ask as many people from all over Scotland to come to Edinburgh and take part to show solidarity for Palestine.
It took around 20 minutes to pass by, although it is always difficult to estimate exact numbers.
The protesters walked to The Scottish Parliament where there is an encampment.
