Men, women and children gathered in Edinburgh to mark the 100th anniversary of the Women's Suffrage Movement procession along Princes Street in 1909.
More than 2500 people registered to join the Gude Cause Marc, which was organised by volunteers, women's historians and community workers, in association with The Edinburgh Peace and Justice Resource Centre.
It began at Bruntsfield Links before winding its way through the Old Town and ending at Calton Hill.
Women's groups, trade unions, political parties, youth groups and schools joined individuals from across Scotland for the procession, which will be led by policewomen on horseback.
Organisers said the aim was to remember the 1909 march, whilst drawing attention to the problems which still exist around the world, such as domestic violence, forced marriage and human trafficking.
Helen Kay, Gude Cause co-ordinator, said: "It is to commemorate the work done by the Suffragettes and to remind people that the vote was hard-won and that the issues people campaigned on are still around."
Gude Cause takes its name from a Scottish Suffragettes banner from the 1909 procession which proclaimed "A Gude Cause Maks A Strong Arm".
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
