Convoy/Cavalcade from Glasgow to Edinburgh to sign the Book of condolences to Alex’s Family & Friends

About the event

Come & join the Alba Glasgow Car / Bike Convoy/Cavalcade to Edinburgh, this Saturday morning, to sign or give your messages of love, appreciation & support in the book of condolences to the family of Alex Salmond.

Please decorate your cars with Saltire’s & pictures of Alex etc to honour him. We will be taking the A roads on the way there, map link & picture here, & the motorway on the way back.

1. On this Saturday 27th October, Please meet at 10:30am for a 10:45am departure from Glasgow Green, parking as near as possible to the Dalton Fountain, and in front-ish of the Peoples Palace.

2. If necessary, we may then head for the Showcase Cinema carpark at Coatbridge to pick up anyone else who wants to join up. Departure from this location at 11:30am latest.

3. Depending on numbers of cars, we will take the A road route or the Motorway. Journey time should be between about an hour and 1 & 1/2 hours dependent on route & traffic conditions. (We won’t be going fast).

4. We will take a route endeavouring to avoid the LEZ in Edinburgh, but cannot completely guarantee that.
5. We will park in or near Holyrood Park.
6. Depending on numbers we will have a picnic or find places to eat before heading back to Glasgow either still in convoy or as people choose.

Please note, the Scottish Parliament bans visitors from displaying any Saltire’s or political statements. I’m sure our views on that little known fact are completely unprintable, but this is their policy & security enforces it.

We hope this small tribute will join with the many deserved of the great man.
We hope you will join us. You will be most welcome.
