The route of this year's Pride march in Glasgow has been confirmed by organisers.
Glasgow's Pride Mardi event will be the biggest of its kind in Scotland and will have speeches from leading politicians followed by a colourful display through the city streets.
Speeches are set to kick off at 11.30am at Glasgow Green on July 15 before the march will make its way onto Saltmarket and heading towards George Square.

A record 22 venues across the city will be holding pride events with a completely free Pride Hub held at Strathclyde University with over 100 community stalls with partners such as THT, LGBT Youth, Leap Sports, the NHS, and LGBT Health and Wellbeing playing leading roles.
Headline acts for the free entertainment include the "Queen of Pride" Scottish singer and songwriter Horse McDonald, TikTok sensations Just the Brave, and number 1 artist Mary Kiani.
Chair of Glasgow's Pride, Dan Syme said: "I can't wait to welcome our communities to the heart of Glasgow next Saturday as we remember those that have campaigned for equality over the years and also face up to the current challenges of the rising hate crimes against people that are LGBT+
"The city will be a sea of rainbow flags with thousands marching to support people who are LGBT+, with tens of thousands more watching from the pavements of the city centre as Glasgow becomes the city of love on the 15 th with Glasgow's Pride"
Euan McLeod, the Executive Director of Pride added: "Glasgow has so much to be proud of, just last month in partnership with First Bus we announced that our city region would take the world record for the biggest Pride Bus fleet in the world with 6 double-decker buses.
"But with the doubling of attacks against our communities over the past decade, we are asking Glaswegians to help support us -- come march with us next weekend as we would love to welcome you if you're an LGBT+ ally"
A competition has also been launched to encourage shops, offices, and workplaces to fly the rainbow flag during the Glasgow fair weekend. Entry is by tagging a picture of the display that is created and tagging in "mardigla" across social media. The winning team will receive £500 for a night out on the town.
