Climate change protesters have scaled and occupied an oil rig in Dundee harbour today.
Three members of the Extinction Rebellion Scotland group descended on the facility owned by oil giant Shell.
The group took to social media to say they will be on the Valaris 122 jack-up rig for the next 10 days at the Princess Alexandra Wharf .
On Twitter, Extinction Rebellion Scotland said: "3 XR Scotland rebels have boarded and climbing a Shell Gas Rig in Dundee. They are planning an extended occupation and XR Scotland have a series of solidarity actions lined up.
"Over the next 10 days some that we are going to try and spread as far and wide as possible."
In a statement on Facebook, Extinction Rebellion Scotland posted: "This morning, Extinction Rebellion Scotland activists boarded a Shell gas rig currently parked in Dundee Harbour , which is destined for the North Sea.
"They have scaled the towers and intend to stay up there for as long as possible to stop the rig leaving the harbour, and to halt the rig's extractive and destructive operations.
"They have assessed the risks and are properly prepared."
