Police will issue ID cards to eight-year-olds as part of security measures at next year's Gleneagles G8 summit.

As many as 500 locals will be asked to carry photographic identification in order to pass checkpoints and roadblocks surrounding the meeting. Under-eights will not require any ID as they can be included on their parents' or guardians' cards. Tayside Police said the measures were "standard procedure" for a gathering of the world's most powerful leaders. The photo IDs will be handed out to residents of neighbouring Auchterarder. "What are the police going to do if someone goes out to do their shopping and forgets their card or when kids are in and out from their homes like normal kids during the holidays? "Are they going to be subjected to police checks at every turn? "My fear from the beginning was that this was the sort of thing that would happen.

"Here it starts and I suspect this will only be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to disruption to the everyday lives of the people of Strathearn."
