Speaking alongside Elaine at the “Unite The Clans” rally are people with ties to extreme far-right groups. These include:

Gavin Turpie

Josh Fernie

Acording to The Daily Record Josh has “called for all Jews and Muslims living in the UK to be deported.”

Chris Carty

Aberdeen newspaper The Gaudi reported on the anti-migrant activity of Gavin Carty. They said.

“The former and current Presidents of Aberdeen University eSports Society made controversial speeches at anti-migrant demonstrations last month, including at an asylum hotel by Aberdeen beach.”

Barbara Cashley

Barbara Cashley is a member of the anti-migrant group the Falkirk Pink Ladies told the BBC that "Scottish men do this too, but the fact is that the boats are still coming. They [the asylum seekers] have a different belief."

Counter Demo Organised

Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) have organised a counter demo to the far-right rally.

In a statement by (SUTR) they say:

“The far-righ travelling circus is coming back to Edinburgh, as the Hotel Shouters from across Scotland gather again at Hclyrood to disturb the capital City .The smaller the man, the bigger the megaphone. Who are they and what do they want? They are white supremacist, neo-nazi groups, pushing their racist white genocide' conspiracy. They are Homeland Party, Patriotic Alternative. Britain First. Blood & Honour. Combat 18.

The balaclavas are still on, but the masks are well and truly off. That's who they are, who people are supporting, promoting and making the choice to stand behind. They may call themselves by other names: 'Aberdeen Against legal Migration', 'Pink Ladies', 'Scottish Freedom Patriots', 'Protectors of Scotland', to trick their local communities into supporting them or believing this is about ocal concerns' or 'women and girls safety'.
But it's not. It's about blatant racism and prejudice. And the enjoyment they get from the intimidation and aggression they're inflicting upon people who came to Scotland because it is a safe, welcoming, friendly and diverse COMMUNITY. That's why on the 21st of March, the people of Edinburgh and beyond will stand together to STOP the far-right Say NO to hate and racism And say loud and clear 'REFUGEES ARE WELCOME HERE.”

Their Unity Rally will meet at outside St.Giles at 10am and march to Holyrood (Scottish) Parliament.
