ROAD closures will be put in place as more than 10,000 protesters take to the streets in an Orange Order pro-Union march in Edinburgh tomorrow.

The Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland says "proud to be British" members, dressed in full regalia, will descend on Scotland's capital city in a demonstration starting from the Meadows at 11am in support of a No vote in the independence referendum.

Edinburgh City Council has warned of the potential for delays and c­ongestion surrounding the march.

Several main roads will be closed between 10.30am and 2pm, including The Mound, George IV Bridge, Market Street, Jeffrey Street, Forrest Road, Canongate and Abbeyhill.

An Edinburgh City Council sp­okesman said: "These road closures are likely to cause delays and congestion, so members of the public are advised to plan their journeys carefully and allow for extra time.

"Diversions will also be in place for a number of buses; passengers are advised to check with the relevant public transport provider prior to travelling."
