Glasgow Road Closures: 29 streets to close on 6 July for Battle of the Boyne Orange walks in Glasgow

Thousands or members of the Orange Order and associated organisations will converge on the city centre before proceeding to Glasgow Green for the annual County Grand Orange Lodge of Glasgow Boyne celebration. Road restrictions will be in place and roads in the city centre will be closed to traffic between 5am and 4pm on the day of the largest parade. This includes George Square, Ingram Street, Trongate, Saltmarket and Gallowgate. Bus routes will be diverted to accommodate the street restrictions.

A spokesperson 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.”
