Activists at Scotland’s climate camp said they do not want to disturb the general public and have issued an invitation to anyone who wishes to visit.

Climate activists who have set up one of Scotland’s largest protest camps in a decade have said they do not wish to cause a disturbance to the general public.

Climate Camp Scotland officially opened their camp near the Grangemouth oil refinery on Wednesday evening, with speaker Leonidas Iza of Ecuador’s biggest indigenous organisation. There were about 100 people in attendance.

Campaigner Quan Nguyen told the PA news agency the group wanted the space in Kinneil Park in Bo’ness, near Falkirk, to be open and welcoming for people to discuss the climate emergency, even if they disagreed.

He said: “It’s really open and really supportive, we invite everyone to come in.

“We don’t want to take the space away, we want it to be a space where we can have an open discussion.
