Nigel Farage has dodged anti-racism protesters demonstrating outside a Brexit Party event in Edinburgh.
The MEP announced yesterday that he was "heading to Edinburgh" for the rally in capital's Corn Exchange, where he was expected to address supporters ahead of the European elections on May 23.
Dozens of protesters turned up to protest the visit after Stand Up To Racism Edinburgh organised a demo outside the venue on New Market Road in the south west of the city.
Amid a heavy police presence protesters, many waving saltires, chanted "shame on you" at the divisive politician who was inside the building.
However, he wasn't seen going in through the front entrance.
On a previous visit to Edinburgh in May 2013, Farage was forced to flee a pub on the Royal Mile in a police van after he was targeted by protestors.
Dozens of people heckled him shouting he was a "racist", "fascist" and "homophobe" outside the Canon's Gate.
Earlier today, Nicola Sturgeon warned the prospect of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister, supported by Nigel Farage, is a "deadly serious possibility".
The First Minister said such a scenario would represent a "nightmare" for Scotland.
Speaking at the launch of the SNP's European election manifesto in Glasgow on Friday, Sturgeon insisted that Scotland must be allowed to keeps its options open in the face of a potential hard Brexit.
Scottish voters must send clear message - we won't be ignored
She said that there is now an obligation on her party to provide a "beacon of light and hope" ahead of voters going to the ballot box next week.
Sturgeon said: "Senior Tories are now openly calling for an electoral pact at the next Westminster election with Nigel Farage," she said.
"Even a few months ago the idea of a Boris Johnson premiership, supported by Nigel Farage, would have been dismissed as a joke.
"It is no longer funny. It is a deadly serious possibility and for Scotland it would be a nightmare.
