Police Scotland has apologised to a prominent women's rights campaigner as the force confirmed it is satisfied no crime was committed in an incident at a demonstration outside Holyrood.

Susan Smith, co-director of For Women Scotland - the group which successfully took the Scottish Government to court over the legal definition of a woman - was at an event outside the Scottish Parliament in September where there was a confrontation with a counter-protester.

Ms Smith was reported to police amid claims of damage to a rainbow umbrella belonging to the counter-protester, who was playing loud music while the For Women Scotland demo was taking place.

Police Scotland said last month it was reviewing its response to the protest. On Friday, it confirmed it is satisfied no crime was committed.
