Hundreds of climate activists have marched in Edinburgh as part of a global day of action against fossil fuels.
The march was organised by groups including Friends of the Earth Scotland, Extinction Rebellion and Greenpeace.
The route took them past UK government offices to the Scottish Parliament.
They are calling on the UK government to cancel its latest tranche of 100 oil and gas exploration licences.
Prime Minister Rushi Sunak announced the new licences in in July alongside funding for a carbon capture project in the north east of Scotland
