Notification of around 100 Orange parades has been given to Glasgow City Council for June and July.

The biggest day for the marches is Saturday, July 6, when 50 parades take place across the city as thousands of members and followers converge on Glasgow Green for the annual County Grand Orange Lodge of Glasgow Boyne celebration.

The individual feeder parades start at various points around the city before four groups, from the north, west, east and south, merge in the city centre and head to Glasgow Green.

From the east, 950 members will parade from Glenpark Street to George Square.

The biggest is when 3500 are expected in Glasgow Green organised by Bridgeton No Surrender Apprentice Boys of Derry.

They will parade from the Green through the East end to Bridgeton Cross and Dalmarnock and back to Glasgow Green.

Another seven marches are planned for Saturday, June 15, including 220 from the County Grand Orange Lodge of Glasgow Youth Section, from Kennedy Street in Townhead to Glasgow Green.

On Sunday, June 23, there are 10 parades with around 900 coming from the north, west, south and east into the city centre at Holland Street, near Blythswood Square to parade through the city centre to Glasgow Evangelical Church at Cathedral Square.

A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: “The legislation covering public processions is set nationally.

“Local authorities that receive notifications from procession organisers must consult with stakeholders, such as the police, and seek to resolve any concerns about routes – but there is a presumption in law that those that wish to hold marches will be able to, assuming they follow the statutory process.”
