Schoolchildren march to show unity against sectarianism
Hundreds of children marched through Barrhead town centre yesterday in a show of unity against sectarianism. Pupils from two secondary schools and seven primaries held up traffic as they walked through Barrhead in East Renfrewshire to launch a year-long anti-sectarianism campaign.Led by a piper, the 500-strong march wound its way from Carlibar Primary, through the streets to Auchenback Park, with children carrying banners.
In what is believed to be the first event of its kind in Scotland, primary seven pupils from Auchenback, Carlibar, Cross Arthurlie, Springhill, St John's, St Mark's and St Thomas's primary schools joined first years from St Luke's and Barrhead High.
