01/15/2018 (United Kingdom) - According to international media reports, multiple groups are planning to stage a march in Edinburgh on Sunday, 21 January. This is timed to coincide with the anniversary of the inauguration of President Trump in 2017 and is reported to be in response to the recent sexual harassment scandals. Previous marches of this nature have been highly attended and tightly policed. Further information on times is awaited.
Clients in the vicinity of the aforementioned area are advised to remain clear of any type of political demonstration in order to mitigate against unruly crowd behaviour, opportunistic crime and heavy-handed police response. Travellers should be reminded that significant travel disruption is likely during those dates and should be aware of further developments by monitoring local sources.
