Dozens of Orange Walks are planned to take place in Glasgow next month with 30 road closures in place.
Around 3,500 are expected to take part in 50 Boyne Parades on Saturday, July 6. The processions will start at various locations around the city before four groups – from the north, west, east and south, merge in the city centre.
Marchers will then descend Glasgow Green for the annual County Grand Orange Lodge of Glasgow Boyne celebration. Glasgow City Council has warned that there will be several road closures and parking restrictions in place while the march gets underway.
Bands from across West Dunbartonshire are expected to take part, including the Pride of the Rock band from Dumbarton and a band from Vale of Leven.
