Who are the Scottish Dawn neo-Nazi group?

The Scottish Dawn neo-Nazi group has been banned by Home Secretary Amber Rudd under the UK's anti-terror laws.
From today, being a member or active supporter of the organisation is a criminal offence - with a sentence of up to 10 years in prison for anyone convicted of being involved.
Who are Scottish Dawn?
On its website, the group describes itself as a "patriotic society for the defence of our race and nation active across Scotland".
Despite claiming to have been inspired by SNP founder Arthur Donaldson, it despises the party and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, and is vehemently opposed to multiculturalism and the "global liberal elite".
The group's first public appearances came at an anti-refugee protest in Alloa in March, when a small number of hooded and masked supporters stood alongside other extremist groups including the National Front and Scottish Defence League.
They appeared at a similar protest in Wishaw the following month.
