Seven people were arrested at a protest against Covid vaccine passports which took place outside an Ayrshire court.
The demonstration – dubbed 'Freedom Rally' – saw hundreds of people descend on Ayr's Wellington Square next to the town's sheriff court on Saturday, January 29.
Several protestors were lifted in connection with a host of offences including breach of the peace, resisting arrest and obstructing a police officer.
Of the arrests made, two were from South Ayrshire whilst others had travelled from Glasgow and Lanarkshire.
The youngest arrest was of a 20-year-old man with the oldest being a 48-year-old man.
Two 29-year-old men were also arrested and charged at the demonstration, as were a 37-year-old man and a 40-year-old man.
A 39-year-old woman was also arrested.
Of those arrested, five will appear at Ayr Sheriff Court at a later date.
Chief Inspector Nathan Calderwood, local area commander for Ayr, said: "Police Scotland is a rights-based organisation that puts our values of integrity, fairness, respect and a commitment to upholding human rights at the heart of everything we do.
"This means that we will protect the rights of people who wish to peacefully protest or counter-protest, balanced against the rights of the wider community. We provided a proportionate response to this protest.
"A number of protesters were either arrested or were subject of a report to the procurator fiscal for various offences including resist arrest, obstructing a police officer and breach of the peace.
"Violence or any other form of criminality will not be tolerated."
