Officers were called this morning to Dunfermline Cemetery, where a swearword and an anti-lockdown message had been written across the infant memorials.

One message made references to “covid hoax”, and officers say the graffiti has been removed while an investigation is under way.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 10.05 am on Saturday, 1 May, 2021, police were contacted with regard to a vandalism at a baby memorial within Dunfermline Cemetery, Halbeath Road, Dunfermline.

"Officers have attended and the graffiti has been removed.

"Enquiries, which are at a very early stage, are continuing."
