Protesters gathered at Glasgow Green at 1pm on Saturday and, according to police, began an unplanned procession through the city centre.
Some of them were pictured carrying placards saying “Do you trust your ‘govern’ment with your life?” and “vaccine passports means your body will be owned by the state forever”.
One witness said about 1,000 people were taking part.
