Country park bosses have slammed the "horrific and reckless" actions of thugs who burned down play equipment and a birdwatching hide in the early hours of Monday morning.
Emergency services rushed to Monikie Country Park, a few miles outside of Dundee, shortly before 4am on July 4 following reports of structures being set alight. However, none of the buildings could be saved and have been reduced to charred wood and ash.
Bosses at ANGUSalive, which is responsible for maintaining the park on behalf of Angus Council, have hit out at those responsible. They say the bill to replace the damaged swings is likely to run into thousands of pounds and could have been much worse if it had spread to surrounding trees.
