Police arrested 31 people after three days of climate protests in Clydebank area of Glasgow.
The environmental demos, organised by Stop the Oil activists, began just after 4am on Tuesday May 3 and targeted the Nustar oil terminal at Rothesay Dock.
Protesters aimed try to disrupt the activities and blockade any oil from leaving the site by sitting on top of pipes and on silos while other climate change campaigners headed into the terminal itself.
The police had a large presence at the protests, and revealed that 31 people were arrested during the action.
Of those arrested, 15 have been charged in connection with a Breach of the Peace and 16 with a contravention of Section 69 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 and Malicious Mischief.
Chief Superintendent Lynn Ratcliff said: “As a rights-based organisation, Police Scotland puts our values of integrity, fairness, respect and a commitment to upholding human rights at the heart of everything we do.
“This means that we will protect the rights of people who wish to peacefully protest or counter-protest, balanced against the rights of the wider community.”
We previously reported that a number of arrests were made after Just Stop Oil supporters blocked access to the Nustar Clydebank facility in West Dunbartonshire by climbing on top of tankers and locking on to the entrance at about 4am on Tuesday.
This week's demos were the first of their kind Scotland since the Just Stop Oil coalition began blockading fuel terminals south of the border on April 1, which has seen more than 1,000 arrests across the UK.
The group say the government's recent energy strategy failed to provide a route to widespread insulation in Scottish homes.
A UK Government spokesman said: "We will not bend to the will of activists who naively want to extinguish North Sea oil and gas production.
"Doing so would put energy security and British jobs at risk, and simply increases foreign imports, whilst not reducing demand.
"We are committed to a strong North Sea industry as we transition away from expensive fossil fuels over the coming decades, and our recent British Energy Security Strategy sets out a long-term plan to ramp up cheap renewables and nuclear energy."
