Ancient abbey attacked by vandals

Vandals who unearthed and damaged ancient stones at a medieval abbey near Stirling are being hunted by police.

Central Scotland Police said those responsible broke an historic moulded stone at Cambuskenneth Abbey and moved others housed in the bell tower.

The ancient monument was built circa 1140 on the orders of King David I.
