Inverness Protest against housing asylum seekers at Cameron Barracks

Inverness Protest against housing asylum seekers at Cameron Barracks footage. CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE Hundreds of people protested in Inverness against plans to house around 300 asylum seekers at Cameron Barracks, with anti‑migrant demonstrators clashing with pro‑refugee counter‑protesters. Police were present to keep the groups apart. What Happened Location & Plan: The UK Home Office announced that Cameron Barracks in Inverness would be converted into temporary accommodation for up to 300 single male asylum seekers. This decision came with little or no consultation with Highland Council, sparking anger locally. Protest: Anti‑migrant groups, including Inverness Against Illegal Migration, organized demonstrations in the city centre. Protesters chanted “send them home” and expressed fears about community cohesion and the eviction of veterans’ associations from the barracks. Counter‑Protest: Pro‑refugee groups such as Inverness For All and Stand Up To Racism staged counter‑demonstrations. They carried “refugees welcome” signs and argued against what they described as far‑right rhetoric and misinformation. Tensions: The protests drew hundreds of participants from across Scotland. Police were deployed to separate the opposing groups and maintain order. Political Fallout: Even the SNP‑led Highland Council, usually supportive of immigration, criticized the plan as “inappropriate” and warned it could damage community cohesion. Veterans groups also condemned being forced out of their historic base. Footage recorded in 4k, all clips available are on this reel Questions, licensing, content? contact@tarotfilms.com
