Over 30 Orange Walks organised for one day as thousands expected to march in Glasgow

Glasgow is set to see over 30 Orange Walks on just one day next month after coronavirus restrictions were relaxed.

Thousands are expected to participate in the marches on September 18 as 34 parades have been planned.

Limits to outdoor gatherings were lifted on August 9 allowing the marches to restart.

Our sister title Glasgow Live report how extensive road closures are expected as lodges take a number of routes across the city throughout the day.

The largest march will see three lodges converge at once.

The County Grand Orange Lodge of Glasgow South Group, which will begin at Pacific Quay, expects 1,850 members alone.

Meanwhile, the North Group, beginning at Garscube Road, expects 1,010 and the West Group, assembling at Kelvingrove Park, expects 650.

These three will join together at West George Street and process to Glasgow Green.

A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: "The Scottish Government amended the coronavirus regulations earlier this year to permit public processions at Protection Level Two and below.

"Organisers are aware they will be expected to comply with any restrictions that are in place at the time of their event taking place."
