Islamophobic graffiti has been scrawled across a sign at the site of a proposed mosque.

The words 'no Muslims' were painted over an advert on Jeanfield Road in Perth this week.

Police are carrying out an investigation into the crime, which happened on Monday or Tuesday.

The £1m mosque was at the centre of a protest by the Scottish Defence League earlier this month.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: "Police Scotland is carrying out enquiries into a vandalism at a proposed building site in Jeanfield Road, Perth, on Monday or Tuesday this week."

The sign has been removed, it is understood.
