A pane of glass at Abbot's House in Arbroath Abbey was broken.
Broken glass at one of Scotland’s oldest tourist attractions could have been caused by wind damage, it has emerged.
A pane of glass at the Abbot’s House in Arbroath Abbey was broken last week, sparking comment that the area was getting a reputation for vandalism.
PC Colin Cunningham tweetedthat he was looking into vandalism at Arbroath Abbey, saying: “This needs to be stopped before this historic building suffers further damage.”
Police confirmed officers attended after three large windows were broken at the visitor centre on March 1, and another pane was broken on Thursday.
A spokesperson said: “We are investigating and appealing for witnesses.”
A spokeswoman for Historic Scotland said police increased their patrols of the area after large windows were broken at the end of February.
She said: “I can confirm that a small pane of glass on one of the windows in the Abbot’s House was broken and repaired last week, however this could have been due to wind damage.
