Around eight officers arrived at the scene and forced the crowd back before escorting the occupant into a waiting police van.

No arrests were made and it is believed the man, who requested assistance from officers to leave the address, has now left the area.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "At around 3.40 pm on Monday, July 11, police responded to a report of a protest outside an address in Fenwick Drive, Barrhead.

"Advice and assistance was provided to those in attendance and the protesters dispersed. No arrests have been made."
