Climate Campaigners Protest Fossil Fuel Approvals Outside Scottish First Minister's Residence

Climate campaigners gathered outside Bute House, the Scottish first minister's official residence in Edinburgh, on October 31, 2026, to protest two recently approved fossil fuel projects.

The protest was triggered by the Scottish Government's approval of a new gas-fired power station in Peterhead, according to reporting by the website of the campaign group behind the coverage. Demonstrators also objected to the UK Government's approval of the Jackdaw gas field project off the coast of Aberdeen.

Activists warned there were "no treats for John Swinney," staging a Halloween-themed demonstration timed to coincide with the holiday, according to Digital News Report.
