We have managed to get an interview to a person who participated in a blockade during the night and the early morning.

He got separated from the group he was with.

When did you leave the camp?
3:00 am

How many ppl was in your group?
Between 200 and 300 ppl

Where did you go?
We tried to head for the M9 but as coming out of the camp at the 2nd roundabout was the police.

What did you do then?
We look for small paths and other roads to get away.

Where did you manage to go?

As far as I am concerned I only got to an area in Stirling close to the M9. But there is ppl who managed to get there. The M9 got blocked for some time.

How many police was there?

A lot I cannot give a number.

In some times we had four vans ahead and 4 behind.

Was there any confrontation?
From the first moment we were enclosed the way was open using stones. Some people got arrested.

Two photographers may have gotten arrested (needs to be confirmed) I saw the arrest where there were media ppl but I am not sure who got arrested and who did not get.

Then I got separated from the group and decided to leave the place.
