An Orange Walk planned in North Lanarkshire is expected to draw crowds of up to 8,000 people this weekend.
The march will take place on Saturday July 9 in Holytown from 10am to 3pm. North Lanarkshire Council say Police Scotland will be enforcing a number of road closures, with diversions in place elsewhere and delays expected.
The local authority also warned some local residents and businesses will not have access to their driveways for over an hour on Saturday.
A council spokesperson said: "A public parade involving an estimated 8,000 people will take place in Holytown on 9 July. As a result there will be a number road closures and parking restrictions in place, managed by Police Scotland.
"From 10.00am to approximately 3.00pm, the A723 Carfin/Holytown Link Road between Loanhead Road and Torrance Park will be closed for coach parking. A signed diversion will be in place via Newhouse, Newarthill and Carfin so roads in these areas are likely to be busier than normal and delays are expected.
"Between 8.00am and 6.00pm, there will be no waiting or loading restrictions in place on both sides of Dornoch Road, between Myrtle Drive and Sunnyside Crescent, and High Street, Newarthill, between Caledonia Drive and Mosshall Street. A public meeting will be held in Windsor Park on Dornoch Road at 11.45am before the parade starts at 1.00pm.
"It will follow a route from Dornoch Road, along Sunnyside Crescent, St Andrews Street, Main Street (A775), Stevenston Street (B799), Clydesdale Street, Carfin Street (B7029) and Carfin/Holytown Link Road (A723) to the junction with Loanhead Road. The parade will then split, with a number turning left onto Loanhead Road then Quarry Street and the majority continuing on the A723 and along Jerviston
