The team that run the picturesque charity owned ‘Kirkcudbright Harbour Cottage Gallery’, that sits right next to the River Dee by the fishing boats in the busy wee town in Dumfries and Galloway are very concerned about the fact vandals have slashed a fabric banner that they have situated in the town for the third time in 3 months!
A spokes person for the gallery told DGWGO News ” Our banner which we have on the railings at the ‘Moat Brae’ very near the gallery has been vandalised for the third time since September. We ignored the first incident (two slashes with a very sharp blade) as a one-off random mindless event and we repaired it. The second (another two slashes) was reported to the police and again we repaired it. However the latest incident which happened during the evening of Friday 9th Dec after 5.00pm, but before opening time on Saturday, again reported to the police, resulted in a huge piece being cut out of the banner – this is now irreparable and, if we replace it, will cost the charity- run gallery in the region of £150 – £175 to replace.
Many of you walk past this area on a daily basis and it would be helpful if you could let us know if you have seen anything suspicious – somebody out there must know the person or persons who have carried out this mindless action (the attached photo says it all). – sorry to end the year on such a ‘downer’ but we remain positive and optimistic about the future.”
