If mob overruns Gleneagles, G8 delegates will take refuge in castle
If mob overruns Gleneagles, G8 delegates will take refuge in castle
By Angus Macleod, Scottish Political Editor



THE venue for the G8 summit of world leaders next week will be switched to a 19th-century castle if security around Glen-eagles is overwhelmed by anti-poverty protesters.

Politicians will be moved from the luxury Gleneagles Hotel to the castle 20 miles away if their safety is considered at risk or if the protests turn into riots and make it impossible for summit business to take place as planned.

The plan for the fall-back venue — built by one of Admiral Nelson’s most senior officers and now the home of Scotland’s police college — would mean Tony Blair hosting the summit over one day rather than the original 48 hours.

If the college at Tulliallan, in Fife, subsequently becomes a focus for protest and its security is breached or at risk, the final option is to switch the world leaders to Lancaster House in London.
