The statue of Scotland’s most famous ruler, Robert the Bruce, has been vandalised with graffiti branding him a “racist kingâ€.
Vandals daubed “racist King†and “BLM†on the plinth of the Scots ruler’s equestrian statue, which shows him mounted upon the little war pony which carried him when he slew the English knight Sir Henry de Bohun in single combat at the Battle of Bannockburn.
They also wrote out the “BLACK LIVES MATTER†slogan in full on the ground in front of the statue, and “robert was a racist / bring down the statue†on a nearby rotunda, according to reports.
“We are disappointed to see the statue of Bruce vandalised in this way and are liaising with the National Trust for Scotland and our local heritage partners,†commented Scott Farmer, who leads the council responsible for local government in the area.
“To see such gratuitous vandalism against one of Scotland’s landmark statues is a senseless attack on a strong community and its history. This statue has no connection to the Black Lives Matter campaign and this attack could very well undermine the legitimate concerns raised by BLM.â€
