Hundreds join anti-racism demo after terrorism-linked murder bids

Thousands of people have taken part in an anti-racism demonstration, a week on from alleged anti-Muslim attacks in Edinburgh.

The Reclaim Our Streets rally drew support from politicians, trade unions, local people and community groups.

It came after five people were injured in a series of incidents on 19 June, which began near a mosque in the west of the city and ended in Leith Walk.

A man has since appeared in court charged with five counts of attempted murder linked to terrorism.

Lewis Hawkes, 36, made no plea and was remanded in custody.
