Police warn public not to attend mass gathering in Bught Park and Castle Heather Park in Inverness on Saturday during coronavirus lockdown
People are being urged to avoid a planned public event in Inverness this weekend.
The event has been advertised on Facebook as a "Unified Peaceful Mass Gathering", to take place at Bught Park at noon on Saturday.
A group calling itself the UK Freedom Movement is behind the event, apparently in protest at the ongoing lockdown.
Similar events have also been advertised for other locations including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee.
Their posters states: "We say no to the Coronavirus Bill, no to mandatory vaccines, no to the new normal and no to the unlawful lockdown."
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "We have been made aware of these leaflets and would strongly urge people not to take part.
"The Scottish Government's guidance is clear – people should only leave the house for very limited purposes, for example for basic necessities, such as food and medicine, for exercise, for medical needs or travelling for work which cannot be done at home.
"Public gatherings of more than two people, with limited exceptions, are prohibited."
