A brick was thrown through a window of a hotel housing asylum seekers in Falkirk during the early hours of Tuesday morning, following a month of protests.

Falkirk For All, a community group dedicated to opposing racism and discrimination, said the incident was “an attempt to intimidate our neighbours in the asylum system”.

“This act of intimidation is unacceptable and should be universally condemned by all groups, but it does not happen in isolation,” the group said.

“Rising anti-immigration rhetoric is fuelling hostility and creating an environment where such actions take place. Everyone has the right to feel safe in our community, and actions like this bring our town into disrepute.”

Three anti-immigration demonstrations, organised by the Save Our Future & Our Kids Futures campaign, have taken place outside the Cladhan Hotel over the last month.

The most recent protest took place on Sunday.

Counter-demonstrations, organised by Stand Up To Racism, were also held outside the premises.

Police were called to the Cladhan Hotel at around 12.05am after reports of a brick being thrown at a window, shattering it.

No one was injured in the incident.

Officers have not made any arrests, and an investigation is ongoing.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 12.05am on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, we were called to a report of a window being broken at a premises on Kemper Avenue, Falkirk.

“Enquiries are ongoing.”
