Edinburgh city centre was packed with hundreds of young climate activists on Friday as huge crowds came to the capital as part of a school strike demonstration.
Marching along Princes Street before heading to the Scottish Parliament, youngsters from all over Scotland had arrived to mark the Fridays for Future movement, inspired by Greta Thunberg.
The first to take place since the summer, protestors came equipped with signs and banners as they rallied, stopping traffic at certain points around the city.

Giving speeches outside Holyrood, many were seen carrying slogans such as "the kids are not alright", as they demanded further action following Cop26.
Demonstrators said politicians had failed to take action on the climate crisis since the international summit in Glasgow nearly a year ago
They also hit out at the UK Government's plans for more fossil fuel exploration in the North Sea and the end of the fracking ban in England.
Niamh Gill, 16, from Livingston, West Lothian, said: "We're not alright with what the government is doing in not taking enough climate action.
"We need speed, we need a just and fair transition into renewables from fossil fuels, we need lots of other things. We're annoyed that the Government seems to think that it's our responsibility and it's not theirs."

Bessie Russell, 16, from Glasgow, said: "We've been doing this for years and we haven't seen change. The kids are here to demand justice."
She added: "After Cop it's been quite difficult because so many promises were made and none of them were kept. So we're just trying to keep the movement going, keep the pace."
Cory MacCormack, 19, of the campaign group Turn Up For Trans Health, also said there had been a lack of action since the summit.
He said: "It doesn't feel like anything gets done. It just seems like a bunch of politicians get to hand out and pretend that they're fine. But I haven't seen substantial changes and the Tory Government has literally done nothing."
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Police are aware of a protest and march in the High Street area of Edinburgh on Friday, September 23. No arrests were made and all involved have now left the location."
