ANTI-SNP slogans have been painted on the base of a sculpture on the outskirts of Dunbar -for the second time.
The graffiti, which was highlighted on social media on Friday, was painted on the DunBear.
The phrases "SNP OUT" and "SNP = SCUM" feature.
Police previously launched an investigation in 2021 after “hang SNP”, “Covid lies” and “no vaccine” were spray painted on the artwork.
However, Police Scotland told the East Lothian Courier on Friday that it did not have anything on its system about the sculpture being vandalised recently.
The five-metre tall sculpture, created by the renowned Scottish sculptor Andy Scott - also known for the Kelpies- has proven a popular attraction since it was unveiled beside the A1 in 2019.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
