200 people have occupied Pilrig Park in Edinburgh, and are setting up tents to make an autonomous camp site there.
23:15: There are around 20 police present, but they have not taken any action so far. Council officials in the park are trying to persuade everyone to move to the official, council run, camp site.
UPDATE 23:55: More police have arrived (there are now 50 in total), along with busses intended to take people to the official site. A small group of people are talking to the council officials. Everything is still calm.
