Hide AdSuperintendent Gordon Dawson, of Central Scotland Police, said: “We want those attending to enjoy the event but any instances of anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated.
“Stirling is one of the top tourist cities in Scotland and the city is for all to enjoy.”
Lodge Grand Master Charles Cefferty said: “People often misunderstand what our organisation is about and associate it with bad things. These people are misguided.
“We’re not an organisation that goes out to promote hate or fear. It’s very unfair for people to say otherwise without any evidence.”
