Protest against the Papal visit - Part 3

The third aspect of our protest was a public gathering at the Grassmarket. This was the spot where many of the Covenanters were put to death during the 'Killing Times'.

We were permitted by the Police to unfurl our banner and walk from Magdalen Chapel to the Grassmarket.  At the Grassmarket Rev Ron Johnstone spoke.
