Elgin Cathedral focus of vandal attack

A WINDOW at Elgin's historic cathedral has been smashed in a "mindless" vandal attack.

Police said the damage took place sometime between 4pm on Friday, October 11 and 8.40am on Saturday, October 12.

During the incident, the glass of a window at the historic site was smashed, while the surrounding frame was also damaged. It is expected to result in a significant cost to repair.

Constable Brian Donaldson, from the Elgin local policing team, said: "Mindless vandalism such as this creates misery for our communities.

"It is a shame that thoughtless individuals have caused this damage to the cathedral which is a prominent feature of Elgin bringing a number of visitors to the area.

"I am appealing for help in identifying those responsible and ask that if you have information which you think could help contact police on 101, quoting incident 1165 of October 12, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111."
