We Call on the Scottish Government to support the Orange Orders right to parade in Scotland we are aware of the continued biased media attacks and are aware of approaches to the Scottish Government to facilitate some sort of ban on our parades

We call on The Scottish Government to reject these and support the Orange Orders democratic right to parade.

I am truly overwhelmed by the momentum that has gathered behind this cause. It is clear that this is a movement driven entirely by your conviction rather than anything I could have done on my own.

We live in a democracy threatened by a council that will not accept our God given democratic rights to walk our Queens highway here in Scotland. They won't beat us so should join us and embrace our culture as we celebrate our history in musical and colourful way that the Orange walk brings to the streets of Scotland on the weekend before 12th of July every year. There are a million reasons to keep the walk going, reasons to ban it are only from ignorance and an unwillingness to understand a day which everyone,families Included can enjoy.

Until we are mobilised politically then we are always going to have an uphill struggle. However, we need to make sure that we have every right to celebrate our tradition and heritage.

ABOUT TIME someone stood up for us. Leave the parades alone its a part of Scottish life and always has been. Tired of all the double standards.

Upset by all of this, i cannot believe that in a country that defends democracy and freedom to practice religion is even attempting this. The major problem in Scotland is that the vile RC bigots have been allowed to spread their lies

Total disgrace that this is even a discussion. We walk in peace and celebrate our history every year. Leave our culture alone.

Keep our traditions alive! Sick of people trying to stop us from walking the streets of our own country. Its our heritage and nobody has the right to take that away from us.
