Striking teachers held a rally outside Nicola Sturgeon's constituency office, as they seek a 10 per cent pay rise.

Around 80% of primary and secondary school teachers are part of the Educational Institute of Scotland, which submitted its claim for the rise over a year ago.

The pay increase they are asking for is below year-on-year inflation, which stands at 13.5%, but a deal has not been reached.

Following mass walkouts earlier this year, strikes have been announced for this week targeting key members of the Scottish Government.

Action has taken place in Perthshire North (John Swinney), Dunfermline (Shirley-Anne Somerville), and Clydebank & Milngavie (Ross Greer) as well as Nicola Sturgeon's Govanhill constituency.
