Furthermore, the Calton Hill demo did not clash with the AUOB demonstration as Mr McKenna implies. The Calton Hill rally had already been organised from 3pm-5pm to accommodate the Edinburgh May Day march and rally from 11.30am. Many came to Calton Hill from this rally, whilst some also came from the earlier AUOB demonstration in Glasgow. And later, “while we were marching and organising and knocking on doors; that shower on Calton Hill were all filling their boots”. The organisers of the Calton Hill were Our Republic and RIC.
