A CAMPAIGN group aimed at supporting those experiencing "parental alienation" staged a Father’s Day march and protest in Edinburgh.

Members of the Dads Against Double Standards campaign walked through the capital, beginning at the Scottish Parliament and ended at Nicola Sturgeon’s Bute House residency.

The walk passed several landmarks throughout Edinburgh, including a stop-off outside Edinburgh Sheriff Court where a demonstration for their #shirtoffyourback campaign took place.

D.A.D.S activists wore shirts signed by thousands of members of their group.

The march then continued to the First Minister’s Edinburgh address.
