Scottish Family Party via TwitterHundreds of people joined rival protests outside a sexual health clinic in Glasgow.
A small group of campaigners from the Scottish Family Party initially gathered outside the Sandyford clinic on Argyle Street, appearing to block the entrance with bricks.
The party announced on Twitter: “Bricking up the Sandyford Clinic. Demonstrating that this place should be shut down.”
A larger counter-demo shortly developed, with dancing and a sound system, as police kept the two groups apart.
Sandyford offers a range of services including abortion and transgender health care.
The demonstration came after the Scottish Family Party had previously announced on social media that it would carry out a symbolic “bricking up” of the clinic’s entrance.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Officers were in attendance at the planned protest on Sandyford Place, Glasgow, on Saturday, March 11, 2023.
“There were no arrests and all involved have now left the location.”
