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".
