POLICE say they received "no reports" of "online abuse" after the Orange Order claimed some of its members were trolled following a march in Glasgow.
The Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland recently demanded "urgent action" on "rising anti-Protestant hate".
It comes after members of the Ladies Orange Association of Scotland held an Orange walk in the city on Sunday, April 27.
As part of the event, hundreds of women paraded through the city centre. Reports said that around 500 people were expected to take part, including Orange bands.
However, after the march, the Grand Orange Lodge claimed some of its members faced "deeply offensive online abuse".
The lodge said trolls had targeted its members for "expressing their faith and culture".
They also revealed that the abuse had "caused serious emotional distress" to some of its members as well. Due to the alleged trolling, the Orange Order urged Police Scotland and the Scottish Government to "take urgent action".
However, Police Scotland has since revealed "no reports of any online abuse" were made.
It is also understood that no incidents or complaints were raised at the event on April 27.
While no reports of "online abuse" were made, officers did say they take reports of "hate crime very seriously".
A force spokesperson said: “Police Scotland takes reports of hate crime very seriously and our officers are committed to ensuring this will not be tolerated.
“We would encourage anyone to report this type of crime to police by calling 101.”
The Scottish Government has also been contacted for comment.
