A PAISLEY church has been left damaged in an "inconsiderate and reckless" act.
The incident left the ramp and railings of St Mirin's Cathedral broken.
Reverend Father Ryan Black said the vandalism, which officials noticed last Friday morning, is "upsetting".
In a picture the damage, which left the ramp unusable, can be seen.
The reverend added: "The ramp provides disabled access on one side of the car park and obviously, there is a financial side of thing as well.
"What is most upsetting is that we are hoping and assuming that it was simply an accident.
"We are upset that they didn't report it before driving away."
In a Facebook post, the church said: "Some inconsiderate and reckless person crashed into the railings and destroyed our ramp, but did not report it.
"We would appreciate it if anyone with information would contact us as soon as possible."
Police Scotland will be contacted about the incident.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
