MORE loyalist marches are due in Glasgow over the summer, with the city having just seen its largest march to mark the Twelfth.
Next Wednesday is renowned as a day when members of Protestant loyal orders parade to mark the Battle of Boyne in 1690.
The battle saw Protestant King William of Orange defeat Catholic King James II to secure a Protestant line of succession to the British Crown.
The marches and day in general are extremely controversial, with those opposed to the annual event calling it “sectarian”.
Below are the Glasgow marches planned over the rest of the summer, and information on the routes they will take.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
