A rally in Edinburgh to protest at public sector cuts was attended by more than 20,000 demonstrators.
Union group the STUC arranged the event to demonstrate against measures in the UK government's Spending Review.
STUC general secretary Grahame Smith said: "We launched this campaign to dispel the myth that there is no economic alternative to these cuts.
"There is an alternative. Get people back to work, get the economy growing again, and the public finances will largely take care of themselves.
"We also launched this campaign to expose the lie that it is those with the broadest shoulders that will bear the brunt of the cuts."
Union leaders said they had been "overwhelmed" by the response to the protest rally attended by people from across Scotland.
