THE route for the largest COP26 protest in Scotland has been confirmed ahead of the march on Saturday.
Between 50,000-100,000 people are expected to take part in the 'Global Day of Action for Climate Justice' on November 6 in Glasgow alone.
Thousands of other marches have also been organised across the globe, but the world's eyes are on Glasgow for both the climate summit and the activist action expected to take place alongside it.
Now the route for the march this Saturday has been confirmed, with thousands expected to start gathering in Kelvingrove Park in the morning.
In a map release by the COP26 Coalition, it has been confirmed that participants are to gather in and around Kelvingrove at the Stewart Memorial Fountain from 11am.
The march is set to kick off at 12pm, and it will make its way down Kelvin Way, along Argyle Street, on to St Vincent Street, past West George Street, down past George Square, and finally gathering in Glasgow Green for a mass rally.
