Some 20 arrests were made after an Orange Order parade was held in the centre of Glasgow yesterday.
Around 7000 loyalists attended the annual procession, known as the County Grand Orange Order parade, and Police Scotland said the arrests were for minor offences.
It is one of the largest operations the police deals with each year and ahead of the demonstration both officers called for it to pass off peacefully.
Police, who prepared for hundreds of spectators to watch and follow the parade, warned supporters to "leave the booze and the bigotry behind".
Speaking ahead of the parade, Chief Superintendent Andy Bates said: "Generally it is the unwelcome minority who turn up and use the event as an excuse to drink and cause offence who we have to deal with rather than the marchers themselves."
Leaving from the city's Cathedral Square, the procession took to the city's streets as marchers marked the 1690 Battle of the Boyne.
A spokesman for the Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland said: "I am really pleased with the whole event. It's been a great day and the bands were exceptional."
Meanwhile, its also been reported that the controversial 'Orangefest' which took place in Glasgow earlier this year will not be repeated again in the same format.
The event, which had been almost a year in planning and was held in Glasgow's George Square, had been scaled back due to the poor weather last month, with bouncy castles and helter skelters scrapped.
Eddie Hyde, Grand master of the County Grand Lodge of Glasgow, said it would likely to be replaced with much more low key events at the organisation's Scottish headquarters in Glasgow's east end.
