Police probe after mosque targeted with racist graffiti
BBCPolice are investigating after racist graffiti was sprayed on the side of Edinburgh Central Mosque.
The building, on Potterrow in the city centre, is thought to have been targeted with hate messages at about 21:30 on Friday.
A spokesperson for the mosque said it was "deeply saddened and concerned" by the incident.
Police Scotland said inquiries into the full circumstances were ongoing.
The mosque said the incident had caused distress not only to the local Muslim community, but also those who "value peace, dignity, and mutual respect".
A spokesperson added: "This act does not reflect the Edinburgh we know and love.
"Our city is defined by diversity, compassion, and strong community bonds, and we remain confident that these shared values will prevail over division and hostility."
