Items confiscated over the past 48 hours include 90 gallons of cooking oil, which police said anarchists had intended to pour on the A9, the main route from Edinburgh to Gleneagles. Police also said they had recovered knives, wooden and metal poles, a crowbar, bolt cutters, axes and canisters of CS spray and pepper spray.

With protesters leaving Scotland in growing numbers, police showed their determination to prevent a repeat of Wednesday’s violence by surrounding an “ecocamp” outside Stirling, where thousands of protesters have been staying over the past few days. Police believe that the camp has been sheltering about 300 violent anarchists who took part in attacks on Wednesday morning, smashing car and shop windows and hurling stones at officers.
