A man has been arrested after the doors to a Sikh temple were set alight in a suspected arson attack.
The fire at the Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Sheriff Brae, Edinburgh, caused significant smoke damage.
Police and fire crews were called to the temple at around 5am on Tuesday.
“Inquiries into this incident are continuing.”
Members of the Sikh community condemned the suspected attack, and Scotland’s Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf said he was “saddened” by the incident.
The Gurdwara, situated in a former church, is the only Sikh centre in the Scottish capital, serving a community of more than 500 people.
