Vandals have once again struck at the popular David Livingstone Birthplace Museum in Blantyre.
This time thugs caused damage within the children's playpark after trying to set alight the brand new wooden play hut equipment.
The park only opened last June, as part of a substantial £9.1m regeneration plan at the historic Lanarkshire museum.
It is understood the damage was discovered over the weekend by a member of the public and swiftly reported to police.
They believe the incident took place on Friday, January 21.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman told Lanarkshire Live : "Enquiries are ongoing following a report of a wooden hut being set on fire at the David Livingstone Centre, Station Road, Blantyre.
"Anyone with information should contact police on 101."
The main focal point of the new playpark’s redesign is a large multi-play structure based on David Livingstone’s steamship the ‘Ma Robert’, used on his second Zambezi expedition.
There is also a rain wheel, the play hut and other interactive activities for young people to explore.
The playpark’s physical experience is further heightened by the addition of sensory items including the sound of the Falls coming from a spinning rain wheel, and a large Marimba providing authentic African sounds.
It has attracted visitors from across Scotland since re-opening last summer and is proving to be huge hit with Lanarkshire locals too.
Before the museum's multi-million pound refurbishment vandals previously struck at the site destroying trees, leaving broken bottles, litter and mess in the grounds and setting fire to benches.
During the refurb works, which saw the centre close for three years, members of the Blantyre community donated £2584 to further enhance the playpark area, which cost around £100,000 to build.
