Demonstrators arrested following clashes with police in Edinburgh yesterday have been appearing in court today.
The city centre came to a standstill for several hours when trouble flared during the anti-G8 protest yesterday.
Earlier Lothian and Borders Police said around 100 people were due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, where security was tight and public access was severely restricted this morning.
Shortly after 11am, the first defendants appeared before Sheriff Charles Stoddart where they confirmed their names and entered pleas to the charges against them.
The first six were all from Britain, although other defendants are understood to be from continental Europe. Charges include, for many, breach of the peace, as well as alleged drugs and weapon offences and obstructing police.
Twenty-one were injured in clashes, and several people fainted in the crush yesterday. Police said there had been 90 arrests related to the protests.
The demonstrations began peacefully as protesters, banging drums and shaking bells, marched and danced into waiting police containment cordons.
The demonstrations were part of protests that began on Saturday with a 200,000-strong march through the city calling for an end to poverty in the developing world, especially Africa.
Leaders of the Group of Eight industrialised nations meet amid tight security from Wednesday to Friday at Scotland's Gleneagles Hotel, where they will discuss African poverty and devising a strategy against global warming.
