Police Scotland’s Chief Inspector Murray Tait said: ‘Our enquiries are ongoing after poppy wreaths were set on fire at the war memorial in High Street, Edinburgh around 5am on Monday, 14 November.
‘Officers are carrying out enquiries and gathering CCTV footage to find out more information on whoever is responsible.
‘I utterly condemn this appalling act of vandalism, especially at this time of year when remembrance services have just been held across the country.’
