Tensions reached boiling point in Falkark for the third consecutive week as protesters and anti-racism campaigners clashed outside the Cladhan Hotel, which houses asylum seekers.
Union Jack-clad crowds, some dressed as Boris Johnson, chanted 'Stop the boats' while anti-racism campaigners faced them down with cries of 'Refugees are welcome.' The protests sparked a heavy police presence with both sides refusing to back down.
Scottish government ministers have branded such hotel protests 'completely unacceptable,' warning they spread fear rather than reflect Scotland's welcoming spirit.
Officers stood guard as tensions mounted outside the hotel, monitoring the crowd to ensure demonstrations remained peaceful.
Protesters waved Union Jack flags and held placards accusing politicians of favoring asylum seekers over the elderly, while activists waved banners promoting unity and human rights.
The ongoing protests highlight the growing tensions around immigration policy in the UK and the accommodation of asylum seekers in local communities.
