Police in Edinburgh are investigating the theft of a painting from a Cathedral in the Capital.
A painting depicting the Trinity icon was stolen from St Mary’s Cathedral in Palmerston Place, sometime between the 25th and 26th of April.
The painting, which is a copy, was stolen from the centre of the Cathedral altar, where it had been placed.
PC Kris Harvey, from Police Scotland, said: “While the estimated cash value of the painting is relatively low, it has a significant spiritual value to those who worship at the Cathedral, and we are appealing for any information that can lead to its return.
“Anyone who was in the vicinity of St Mary’s Cathderal between the 25th and 26th of April, who noticed anyone acting suspiciously, should contact police.
“Similarly, anyone who has any information as to the painting’s current whereabouts should also get in touch.”
Anyone with any information should contact Police Scotland on 101, or make an anonymous report through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
