Edinburgh's police chief has defended "heavy handed" arrests of protesters during the Queen's funeral, after a councillor said officers had "lost the trust" of large numbers of the community.
Reports of protesters being detained on the capital's streets emerged during Operation Unicorn in September, when the capital hosted several large-scale ceremonies attended by the Royal Family following the monarch's death aged 96.
The police's professional standards department is investigating claims a young woman was "followed home" by officers after she attended an anti-monarchy rally and held up a blank piece of paper.
