Immigration debate splitting Scottish town in two

STV News has been investigating the impact it's having on locals.

It’s splitting a community in two. The immigration debate in Scotland is fierce and deeply divisive and Falkirk is at the heart of it all.

There’s rising local anger over the housing of asylum seekers in the town’s Cladhan Hotel.

Anti-immigration campaigners have told STV News no one is listening to their concerns, while counter protesters claim anger should be directed at the UK Government, not the people living in the hotel.
