Campaigners are calling on people to come together in Glasgow for "a day of rage against Reform UK" with an emergency march and rally.
The march, authorised by Glasgow City Council, will assemble at McLennan Arch at 10.30am. It will go through the city centre to the top of Buchanan Street, where a rally will take place from 12pm.
Stand Up to Racism (SUTR) and Women Against the Far Right activists estimate that thousands are expected to attend, with people travelling from Inverness through Falkirk to Dumfries to join the march.
In a promotional video for the march, Glasgow Southside anti-racist campaigner Zamard Zahid said: "This is our chance as the people of Scotland to unite and send a strong message that we reject the hateful and divisive politics of Reform and the far right, that we choose to celebrate diversity and not fear it."
The groups distributed around 200,000 leaflets across Scotland during the election campaign urging voters to reject Reform UK's racist politics.

SUTR also co-ordinated eleven unity marches and rallies across the country, including in Paisley, Dunfermline, Livingston and Kilmarnock.
In an online post, the group said: "Say no to Reform UK, their Scottish Lord leader who thinks owning yachts is a 'hobby', and his master in London the supreme posh racist grifter Nigel Farage".
Farage’s Reform UK made gains across the country as hundreds of Labour councillors were voted out, heaping pressure on the Prime Minister.
Farage said the results showed a “truly historic shift in British politics” away from the old era of Labour and Conservative domination, vowing “the best is yet to come” for his party.
