It is understood he had been leafleting near the Glasgow Green bash before officers charged him with the alleged offence.
He also allegedly donned a T-shirt from the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (SPSC) which read: "Genocide in Palestine. Time to take action."
Police officers are understood to have confiscated the top.
The UK government proscribed Palestine Action as a terror group at the end of June.
This means supporting Palestine Action is a criminal offence which is punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
A Police Scotland spokesperson told The National: 'A 55-year-old man was charged in connection with an offence under the Terrorism Act for wearing a T-shirt expressing support for a proscribed organisation.
"A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal."
We told previously how six revellers were arrested on the opening day of TRNSMT at Glasgow Green.
Police said the offences included police assault, assault, hate crime and outstanding warrants.
The individuals were nicked in and around the Glasgow Green area.

Creep snared by paedophile hunters made chilling confession on livestream
David Smith was confronted by members of the group and when they asked how many times he had sex chats with children he said: "It must be in double figures." A creep who was caught out by vigilante paedophile hunters confessed on a livestream to grooming at least 10 under-age girls. David Smith was confronted by members of the group and when they asked how many times he had sex chats with children he said: "It must be in double figures." Smith, 52, used his own name and claimed to be 20 years younger when he sent pictures of his own genitals to girls he believed were 13 and 14. He was unaware he had been duped into communicating with three decoy profiles until the paedo hunters turned up on his doorstep to quiz and film him. Smith had told the 'girls' - who were adults posing as children and using adapted images of themselves for profile pics - that he was "horny" and encouraged them to carry out sex acts. Fiscal depute Jennifer Bairner told Perth Sheriff Court that Smith sent friend requests to the decoy Facebook profiles and claimed he was a hotel worker in his 30s from Scotland. He told one: "It's OK, it will be our secret" after sending a picture of his erect penis. He sent further explicit images after asking the girl if she was at school at the time.

At one point he moved the conversation to WhatsApp and sent another picture of his penis to one girl "so you know it's me from this." The grooming of the girls lasted for several months until the vigilante group tracked his home address and turned up on June 10 last year to confront him. "They attended to challenge the accused," Mrs Bairner said. "It was on a Facebook livestream on the Child Protection Team UK. He admitted he was sexually attracted to children." Asked how many he had communicated with, he replied: "It must be in double figures. I'm sorry I did this. I don't go looking for children. I've not molested any children." Smith, from Perth, admitted three grooming charges as well as a charge of having child pornography showing images of children as young as three years old. Sentence was deferred for background reports and Sheriff Simon Collins remanded Smith in custody.

Schoolgirl, 15, hit & killed by ‘show off' driver months after she had life-saving kidney transplant
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Friday heard that West had been driving a 'little fast' 'SHE HAD SO MUCH TO GIVE' 'SHE HAD SO MUCH TO GIVE' Schoolgirl, 15, hit & killed by 'show off' driver months after she had life-saving kidney transplant Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SCHOOLGIRL has been killed by a "show off" driver just months after receiving a life-saving kidney transplant. Keely Morgan, 15, was pronounced dead at the scene in Caerau, Cardiff after being fatally struck on a pedestrian crossing. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Schoolgirl Keely Morgan was just 15 when she was fatally struck by a car Credit: WNS 7 Her death came just months after she received a life-changing kidney transplant Credit: WNS 7 Christopher West, 42, has admitted to killing the teenager Credit: WNS Christopher West, 42, was driving his two daughters and their friend when he hit the schoolgirl at about 9:30pm on 1 May 2023. Now, over two years later, Keely's parents have revealed their "incredible" daughter had received a life-saving kidney transplant just months before she was tragically killed. West admitted to killing the teenager at Cardiff Magistrates' Court in May, where it was also heard that the dad had been driving between 32 and 42mph on a road with a 30mph limit. After hitting the girl, West was arrested and questioned by police who also performed a drugs and alcohol test on the driver. Both test results came out negative. Judge Murphy granted the dad conditional bail and told him not to make any contact - direct or indirect - with Keely's family or to enter certain areas in Caerau. He has also been banned from driving until his sentencing. A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Friday heard that West had been driving a "little fast" and had been "snaking" his Vauxhall Astra. The court also heard the dad turned to his daughters and said: "Shall I remove the black box?" before driving from Barry Island to Ely. His daughter said her dad had been "showing off" on the drive. Billionaire airline CEO's wife 'runs down and kills babysitter, 24, crossing road before FLEEING holiday island' Kevin Seal, representing West, said his client had shown genuine remorse for causing the teenager's death, adding that he would have to live with the grief and regret for the rest of his life. The court also heard a number of emotional statements read by Keely's family including from her mum, Sian Morgan. Sian said her daughter had been given a "second chance of life" aged 13 and had fought "so hard" to live a normal life. The tragedy of her "preventable" death will haunt her forever, she continued. 7 Keely with her mum Sian Credit: WNS 7 Keely was a 'brave' and 'positive' young girl, according to her family Credit: WNS In a victim statement, she said: "She fought so hard to have the opportunity to live a normal life and have the joys of being a teenager. "She remained brave, courageous, and positive, but those dreams have been cruelly taken from her in an instant. "She'll never be able to finish school, go to university, follow her dreams, experience the joys and the milestones of life. "She had so much love to give. She was truly an incredible person with promise and a future ahead of her." The young girl's devastated parents described the tragedy as "beyond repair" and a loss they will carry for the rest of their lives. Sian said: "Every day I wake up and relive a nightmare. Her loss ripples through every part of our lives. Her life mattered. Her death must mean something. No sentence will ever bring her back. Sian Morgan "My heart aches every day for my daughter who I can no longer hug or see the incredible person she could have been. "The world is a darker place without her. The trauma of losing her in a sudden, violent, but preventable way haunts us." She added: "This was totally avoidable. That one decision, that one moment, took everything from us. "A pedestrian crossing is meant to protect people like Keely who was using the crossing appropriately as she had a right to do so but she was struck and killed. "Her life was taken by the drastic failure of you and you alone. You had a duty to uphold fundamental safety laws of being safe while driving and you chose not to do so. "She was an irreplaceable part of my life and her family loved her more than words can say. "Her life mattered. Her death must mean something. No sentence will ever bring her back." Sentencing has been adjourned until July 17 at Cardiff Crown Court. 7 Her mum said the 'the world is a darker place without her',' her mum said' Credit: WNS

I'm fuming after spotting my neighbour's camera – it looks directly into my garden and records everything my kids do
Plus, what are your legal rights if this happens to you CAM ON NOW I'm fuming after spotting my neighbour's camera – it looks directly into my garden and records everything my kids do Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN was left fuming after claiming her neighbour has installed a camera in their window which looks directly into her garden. The mum said she was especially concerned as her kids play in the garden in full view of the alleged recording device. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 A woman claimed her neighbour is 'filming' into her garden The woman claimed: 'He's now recording me. 'I can't cope. 'He's watching my kids, this is enough.' She didn't share whether or not she had already confronted her neighbour, but people were quick to chime in with their views on the video. Many people urged her to report the neighbour to the police, with some calling it a privacy violation. However, another said: '2 sides to every story.' The person replied: 'I don't do anything that untoward, I get anxious with confrontation. 'Next door go to sleep at 10, I respect that and make sure my house is in bed too cos not to make any noises! They scare my [sic] I'm alone with 3 small kids!' WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS? It's typically not illegal for a neighbour's security camera to capture images beyond their property boundary, but it can be intrusive and raise privacy concerns. If your CCTV footage captures images beyond your property boundary then you are subject to the data protection laws. Your kids are breaking law if they kick their ball over neighbour's fence, High Court rules after couple sued next door Legal experts say you will be regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act. You may be familiar with this when it comes to websites storing your data or companies sending you emails. Joanne Ellis, a partner at Warrington-based solicitor Stephensons, said if CCTV being captured falls outside of a homeowner's property boundaries, the person capturing the CCTV becomes a data controller. This creates a set of responsibilities for the CCTV owner. The person captured has a right to be told a CCTV system is being used and what information is being recorded. Ellis said a subject access request can be made if a neighbour refuses to do this. She said: "You can ask for the footage captured of you to be deleted - but it can be refused if there is a legitimate reason to keep it such as it captures a burglar. "Any third parties that the CCTV is disclosed to, such as police and insurers, are also obliged to process the footage in accordance with the rules." CAN YOU REFUSE TO BE FILMED? Ellis said that a neighbour can request they are not captured on CCTV, but this might not be granted if the filming complies with regulations. The CCTV owner must also process data in a lawful and transparent manner and only for specified and legitimate purposes. Ellis said: "In a domestic context, this is usually to deter or record burglaries or theft. "If the CCTV footage for example covers a potential entrance or exit and is not too intrusive for the neighbour the use is likely to be considered legitimate." As always with disputes, Ellis said, the best course of action is to speak with the neighbour, voice your concerns and try to reach agreement. If that fails it may be worth taking legal advice, but this can be pricey.
