OUTRAGE AT GRAVE PLOPPER

A SHOCKING image of a man defecating on a headstone at a cemetery has sparked fury.

It shows the man with his trousers down around his legs squatting against the grave at Howff Cemetery in Dundee.

The picture was posted by Ross Drummond on the Meh Dundee Facebook group, one of many who described the desecration of the grave as “disgusting”.

Karen Thomson responded: “That’s minging. Nah need.”

Mary Teresa McCabe added: “Wonder how they would feel if that was their family?”

Local councillor Lynne Short said the photos present a false image of Dundee.

She said: “Things like this are a rare occurrence but pictures like this are the ones that people remember. I think the message has to be there is no reason to do this. Somebody has to be pitied if they’re leading a lifestyle like this.”

The spot where the man shat is visible from ground level so he could have been seen by passers- by.

It appears he was snapped by a construction worker.

The cemetery is open every day. Signs ask visitors to respect the graves.

It is the latest in a series of unflattering images of Dundee to surface online.

These include one of two addicts passed out in a close with needles in their hands and the trousers around their knees.

Another showed two men passed out on a bench.
