Police are investigating after Labour and Scottish Conservative offices in Aberdeen were daubed with offensive words and symbols.
The Conservative and Unionist Association office in West Mount Street was vandalised with the word “scum”, a swastika and the letter “Q” in white spray paint.
The letter “Q” was also painted on the door of the Labour party office in nearby Rosemount Place.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: “We have received a report of vandalism to the Conservative and Unionist Association office at West Mount Street and to the Labour Party office in Rosemount Place, Aberdeen.
“The incident happened between 5pm on Friday April 10, and 7am on Saturday April 11, whereby offensive words and symbols were spray painted in a white paint.
“Inquiries are ongoing and officers would appeal to anyone who witnessed this or saw any suspicious activity in the area to contact them on 101.”
Ross Thomson, Scottish Conservative candidate for Aberdeen South, said he believed the ‘Q’ was intended to stand for quisling, or traitor.
“Once again we see the ugly side of nationalism on display,” he said.
“People should engage in healthy democratic debate but attempts like this to try and intimidate and bully political opponents are utterly disgusting.”
