Orange Order parades resumed in Glasgow at the weekend.
Several hundred people took part in the first Saturday parades in more than a year.
Ten parades were scheduled to take place across the city as covid restrictions at level two meant processions and marches were able to take place.
Previously, under the level 4 and 3 rules, marches were banned.
Permission for marches was requested by lodges and loyalist bands in Bridgeton, Dalmarnock, Drumchapel, Kelvingrove, Govan, Dennistoun, Parkhead, Springburn, Thornliebank and Whiteinch.
In one of the biggest on the day, a few hundred took part in the Govan and Kinning Park area where the Loyal Orange Institution Govan No.42 held a parade from Brand Street.
A number of people lined the streets at parts of the routes and others followed the parade walking alongside on the pavement.
The Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland said before the parades took place:
“All lodges are aware of Government Covid guidance and will comply with the latest advice.
“The Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland has held meetings with representatives of the Scottish Government, various local authorities and other relevant stakeholders as well as Police Scotland throughout the Covid pandemic."
There are no parades planned for this coming Saturday, traditionally when the Orange Order celebrates the 12th of July Battle of the Boyne anniversary.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
