A group of climate change activists have blocked a busy Glasgow road by chaining themselves to bicycles.
Extinction Rebellion have been joined by Glasgow Calls Out Polluters to stage the blockade outside a meeting of business executives as part of the COP26 summit.
Pictures from the scene show a number of people sitting on Lochburn Road in the Maryhill area of the city on Monday night as police officers stand nearby.
They are holding a sign which reads: “No fracked gas; no crude oil; stop neocolonial spoil”.
Chants of “make them pay” can be heard from the activists, who have targeted the The World Business Council on Sustainable Development dinner.
Raquel Fonseca from Glasgow Calls Out Polluters said: "‘The COP26 in Glasgow has been called one of the most exclusionary ever, and this is not surprising for an event that consistently puts the interests of the rich and powerful first, shamefully ignoring the people actually getting their lives and homes destroyed by the climate collapse brought on by those same agents.
“We must put pressure on them to pay appropriate reparations and not continue on their destructive, selfish path of endless growth and extraction."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Officers are currently in attendance and are engaging with protesters."
In a further statement, issued at around 9.30pm, the force added: "Our Police Liaison Team is engaging with COP26 protesters at The Engine Works in Maryhill, Glasgow.
"We have facilitated a peaceful protest, but to balance right to protest with public safety & rights of the wider community, our Protest Removal Team is safely removing protesters."
