Meanwhile, social media users have slammed the graffiti attack on the Scottish palace. A Glasgow law student posted a photo of the graffiti to Twitter with the caption:
"This was photographed at Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh earlier today. We must condemn and confront the mindless acts of vandalism and hatred."
It has received over 200 likes while others have commented: "Civic and Joyous Scottish Nationalism writ large" and "Appalling vandalism. There are no excuses for it at all, it's criminality whether or not it suits your political party of choice. I really do hope the one who did this is caught and dealt with."
According to the Daily Mail, a Police Scotland spokesperson confirmed that "Police received a report of vandalism on an external wall at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh which happened between 4pm on Saturday, 15 January and 8am on Sunday, 16 January, 2022" and are asking locals to come forward with any information.
