Some of the mess left behind at the Balmuir Wood site.
Vandals have trashed and raided Dundee’s official Travellers’ site.
Residents at the Balmuir Wood Caravan Park, which is run by Dundee City Council, woke up on Saturday to find the site strewn with rubbish, abandoned caravans and faeces.
The wreckage of nine caravans has been left abandoned on the site. Bins were emptied with black rubbish bags littered across the camp.
One 92-year-old man said the people who left the mess gave Travellers a bad name.
“There were about 30 of them got up and left,” he said.
“They all got drunk. They were all contractors making big money. We don’t call them Travellers. They are a different class. They just run from site to site leaving a mess.”
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland’s Tayside Division confirmed the force had received a report of vandalism in the Tealing area.
A spokesman for Dundee City Council said: “We are assessing the damage before undertaking a clean-up. The incident has been reported to Police Scotland.”
