Protestors from Extinction Rebellion were seen around Edinburgh city centre on Saturday as they staged a huge protest against the use of fossil fuels.
Making their way from Princes Street to the Scottish Parliament, activists carried out a series of statements as the country's energy price cap rose to a record high.
Walking through the city in chains, some protestors were dressed in rags and chains as they were led by oil company 'bosses' to the UK Government building and then onto Holyrood.

Joined by their well-known 'red rebels', protestors were then covered with 'oil' on their knees before the crowd and their banners gave a series of speeches.
Fighting against the surge in wholesale gas prices during the climate crisis, the group hit out against the UK governments handling of the situation.

In a statement earlier this week ahead of the protest, Extinction Rebellion said:
"The protest takes place against a backdrop of surging wholesale gas prices and record industry profits at a time of spiralling climate crisis.
"On 1 October, energy bills rise by an average of £500. Coming on top of the rise on 1 April, this effectively doubles the price of energy in just six months. This rise is expected to throw 7 million households into fuel poverty and dramatically increases government borrowing.
"Repayment of this borrowing will fall on future generations but will drive up interest rates and weaken the pound, deepening the cost-of-living crisis. This response has been described as an ‘historic gamble’ and one that hugely favours the well-off."
