Police are investigating after a vandal graffitied "paedo home" on the wall outside the Queen’s Scottish residence.
The outer walls of the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh were pictured Sunday morning spray-painted with two defamatory remarks.
One image shows "paedo home" sprayed in large white letters along one wall, while the palace can be seen in the background.

Another image shows the words "burn Tory scum" written along the same wall in similar style.
The graffiti comes just days after a US court ruled that Virginia Giuffre, who claims that Prince Andrew abused her when she was 17, could proceed with legal action against him.
Prince Andrew has strongly denied the claims.
