Only six arrests following Orange Walks in county ONLY six people were arrested in connection with Orange Walks in Lanarkshire on Saturday, despite thousands taking part in parades across the county and thousands more watching.

Just one arrest is known to have been made during the course of the 28 walks which took place in South Lanarkshire.
The person arrested is believed to have been following a walk in Rutherglen.
North of the Clyde, the County Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland held this year's Boyne Celebration in Motherwell, with over 20,000 people gathering for the event.
Around 15,000 bandsmen and marchers took part in the march, with an estimated 5000 more turning up to spectate. The march brought the centre of the town to a standstill but, despite the numbers involved, police reported that it passed off peacefully.
Only five arrests were made, all for minor offences.
