A Police Scotland spokesman said: “Following the events in Kuwait, France and Tunisia, Police Scotland together with UK and International Partners are monitoring the situation and our thoughts are with everyone affected.

“Whilst the UK terrorism threat level remains unchanged at severe, we would like to reassure the public that we constantly review security plans taking into account specific intelligence and the wider threat.

“Our priority is the safety and security of the public. We would also like to reiterate to the communities of Scotland our long standing advice to remain vigilant and alert.

“As ever we would urge the public to get in touch to report anything suspicious by calling the confidential anti-terrorist hotline on 0800 789321 or in an emergency always call 999.”
