Mr Frackhead visits the Scottish parliament on his tour of Britain

“Mr Frackhead” – a 10 foot high pro-fracking puppet monster – visits Edinburgh on his tour of the UK looking for places to frack for shale gas. His visit to the Scottish Parliament and the Palace of Holyroodhouse was facilitated by Friends of the Earth activists.

Holyrood is amongst many sites of significance across central and southern Scotland that fall within areas on offer in the 14th round of onshore oil and gas licensing. Under UK Government plans, the Queen, or any other house owner, would not be able to stop fracking underneath their homes.
