Hundreds of Scots have taken to the streets to protest against President Donald Trump.

The 45th President was inaugurated on Friday, amid demonstrations around the world about the divisive nature and rhetoric of his campaign.

The New York businessman courted controversy with comments perceived to be racist, and was recorded boasting about sexually assaulting women.

Organisers of the Glasgow protest in Buchanan Street had said: "The effects of a Trump presidency is set to be felt all over the world as racism and sexism is normalised through the voice of one of the most powerful and visible figures in the world."

Banners were been dropped from bridges all across the world urging him to abandon his 'politics of hate'.

Edinburgh and Glasgow were among the UK cities taking part, with banners tackled issues raised by the President-elect on his campaign to reach The White House, including race, immigration and women's rights.

Nona Hurkmans, a spokesman for organiser Bridges Not Walls, said: "On Trump's inauguration day, we're taking action to show our support for groups under attack - here in the UK, across Europe and in the USA - and to reject the rise of a dangerous and divisive far right politics.

"We won't let the politics of hate peddled by the likes of Donald Trump take hold. What happens next is up to us and by standing together, we can show that the rhetoric of fear and hate have no place in our society."
