In pictures: anti-Brexit march in Edinburgh

An estimated 2000 people marched in Edinburgh today against plans for the UK to leave the European Union (EU).

The demonstration was organised by The Young European Movement, an organisation which exists to fight for a better European Union with the UK at its heart.

A tourist watches on as demonstrators wait at the march starting point, the Radison Blu hotel on Ediburgh’s Royal Mile.

Catherine Stihler MEP, Patrick Harvey MSP and Dr Mike Galsworthy from Scientists Against Brexit addressed the crowds.
