A number of people have been arrested after animal rights protesters rushed onto the track at Ayr Racecourse in an attempt stop the Scottish Grand National.
Police stepped in after activists from campaign group Animal Rising made it onto the track, with police confirming earlier that a "significant operation" was underway to "safely remove" those involved.
An increased security presence was in place on Saturday after the Aintree race was delayed by almost 15 minutes and 118 protesters were detained by police at the racecourse and nearby M57 protests. “Today we continue that conversation. As a society, we love animals, but we have to find a way to care for them without harming them,” she said.
Ayr’s managing director David Brown praised the quick response of police officers and security teams to the protest.
