Drivers on the M8 eastbound are facing major delays on the road, due to a demonstration by anti-vaccine protesters near Bathgate, in West Lothian.
The disruption occurred near the Covid vaccination centre at Bathgate Pyramids Business Park, and is reportedly a planned demonstration by anti-vaccination protesters in the area.
Traffic Scotland confirmed the very public demonstration in a tweet alert, that warned motorists to expect lengthy delays.

The tweet read: “Slow traffic on the M8 eastbound J5 to J3A due to a demonstration at Bathgate.
“Delays approx 15 mins.”
The road is now beginning to clear after the delays lasted most of this morning, and caused many public transport delays as well.
This protest comes as drop-in clinics are now available at the Bahgate facility, as in all vaccination centres, for people over the age of 12.
