Campaigners entered the Glasgow building's reception

Pro-Palestinian protesters have staged a protest inside the BBC Scotland headquarters in Glasgow before leaving voluntarily.

About 10 campaigners with flags and banners shouted and chanted after getting into the reception of the Pacific Quay building beside the River Clyde.

The group said the corporation was failing to "tell the truth" about what was happening in Gaza.

They managed to enter the main turnstile door to access the lobby but did not pass security gates that bar access to other parts of the building.

Two police officers were in attendance but the group left the building after more than an hour, and there did not appear to be any arrests.

The BBC's Pacific Quay building has seen regular protests outside over the conflict between Palestine and Israel.
