The Scottish Defence League (SDL) is an offshoot organisation of the English Defence League. In 2009, the Sunday Herald revealed links between the SDL and the British National Party (BNP) though both groups have publicly tried to distance themselves from each other, with the BNP claiming it would expel members found to be active in the Scottish Defence League (SDL) and its English counterpart, the EDL.

The SDL has organised a number of protests, including:

  • August, 2011 - Irvine
  • September 2011 - Edinburgh
  • November 2011 - Durham, where up to 75 people from the Scottish Defence League and The Infidels - a breakaway group from the right wing English Defence League - gathered, wishing to lay a wreath on the war memorial at Durham Cathedral.
