Scottish court supports Aberdeenshire Council's ban on Orange Order parade in Stonehaven due to safety concerns.
A Scottish court upheld Aberdeenshire Council's decision to ban a planned Orange Order parade in Stonehaven due to concerns over public safety, police strain, and community anxiety. The Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland expressed disappointment and accused the council's decision as a result of a "hate campaign" against the group. Despite the ban, the Orange Order will proceed with opening a new lodge in Stonehaven and laying a wreath.
