Scotlands devolved parliament will increase security measures with immediate effect following Wednesdays (March 22) attack on Britains parliament at Westminster in London.
"While there is no intelligence to suggest there is a specific threat to Scotland, Edinburgh or Holyrood (the devolved parliament), we have increased security with immediate effect at the Scottish Parliament as a precaution," parliaments chief executive office said in a statement.
"We are aware of a developing situation at Westminster this afternoon and are monitoring matters very closely," it added.
A debate on authorizing a new referendum on Scottish independence was suspended earlier after Wednesdays attack, in which a policeman was stabbed, an assailant shot and several people injured. Police say they are treating it as a terrorist incident, Reuters reported.
