Fees protest gives voice to students

STUDENTS, school pupils, lecturers and community groups marched down the Royal Mile to the Scottish Parliament to call on MSPs to rule out fees, maintain college places and improve student support.

Organisers NUS Scotland estimated 4000 took part in the Reclaim Your Voice demonstration.

Liam Burns, NUS Scotland president, said it was a great show of strength and a strong message to Holyrood candidates standing for election in May.
