Protesters to descend on Nicola Sturgeon's Bute House residence over COP26 'betrayal'

An environmental protest is to be led by transport workers who have accused the Scottish Government of a "betrayal" of their Cop26 climate ambitions with cuts to public services.

Rail, ferry and energy workers will demonstrate in response to soaring train ticket prices, with the cost of travelling on public transport rising higher than car journeys, and cuts to infrastructure such as ticket offices.

Protesters will march from Edinburgh Waverley railway station to Bute House, the First Minister's official residence, from 11am on Monday, according to the RMT trade union that has planned the demonstration.
