The leader of Perth and Kinross Council said there had been ‘misinformation’ about new asylum hotels opening up.
A council leader has said “completely false” claims of further asylum hotels opening up in the area were made ahead of the protest which took place in Perth.
A group called Abolish Asylum System held a protest outside the Radisson Blu hotel in the city on Saturday morning.
It was met with a counter-protest organised by Perth Against Racism, with the two sides chanting and shouting at each other before dispersing.
