Anyone who may have information about the blaze is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident number 0606 of 21st July 2022.

It comes after police launched another appeal for witnesses following a string of vandalism incidents at other primary schools in the area.

Now two further similar incident have been reported at schools in the area - namely High Blantyre Primary School and Cathkin Primary School.
