Up to 4,000 women, men and children are to take part in a parade in Edinburgh marking a key suffragette demonstration which took place 100 years ago.
Participants are planning to carry banners and dress in historic costumes in Saturday's re-enactment of the original march in the capital in 1909.
The movement was a fight for women's rights which lasted almost 60 years.
At the time hundreds of people took banners and flags to join a rally along Princes Street on 10 October 1909.
Women were finally awarded the vote in 1928, but on Saturday their fight will be remembered as people take part in a re-enactment of that day.
Let us hope that convicted prisoners do not have to wait 60 years for the franchise!
