A neo-Nazi has allegedly been caught by residents in Glasgow's south side putting up white nationalist posters.
An activist associated with the far-right group Highland Division was called out for putting up propaganda on Clarkston Road in Netherlee on Wednesday with a QR code that links to a racist chatroom.
The group utilises the emblem of the unrelated Highland Division - a British Army battalion that fought against the Axis forces in World War II - enclosed in the Nazi-style eagle symbol, writes the Daily Record.

The poster reads 'White Lives Matters' and depicts a man dropping the insignia of the anti-racist movement Antifascist Action in a litter bin.
One man who lives in the area tweeted that he chased off a man after spotting him fixing a laminated poster to a telephone exchange box beside a bus stop at the entrance to Linn Park.
He wrote: "I removed the laminated poster and asked if he was a Nazi. He said yes and 'we will soon be a minority' as in me, 'white people'.
"I subsequently informed him that he is in fact a minority as we don't have Nazis here. At this point, he made a swift exit in his car."
The man later told the Daily Record that he thinks the extremist group were attempting to attract youngsters to join their group by targeting a bus stop which takes teens to the nearby High School.
People living in the area were shocked to find that far-right propaganda was appearing in the south side.
One said on Twitter: "This is very close to home for me. Fascism and racism is not welcome."
The incident has been reported to the police.
A Police Scotland spokesperson: "We received a report of offensive posters being displayed on Clarkston Road, Glasgow, around 10pm on Wednesday, 9 November, 2022.
“Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with any information is asked to contact 101 quoting incident 3929 of 9 November, 2022.”
Highland Division describes itself as an "independent" and "leaderless" group but it has many similarities to other hateful neo-Nazi groups.
