A Scots mural paying tribute to George Floyd has been vandalised.
Graffiti artist Symon Mathieson was left feeling "ashamed" of the people of Dundee, after the portrait was defaced in the city's Hilltown area.
They painted out the word "black" from "Black Lives Matter" and the name Floyd.
They also painted either a white crosshairs, or a Celtic cross – a well-known KKK symbol – over his face.
The Anti-Defamation League's database of hate symbols describes the sign as "one of the most important and commonly used white supremacist symbols" and highlights its common use by neo-Nazis, skinheads and the Ku Klux Klan.
The word "Black" was painted over in white paint, leaving the slogan at the bottom to read simply, "Lives Matter" - and Mr Floyd's surname has also had paint daubed over it.
Symon said: "This is clearly someone with a ridiculous opinion, and I think it proves my point that racism still exists here.
"This is still a massive problem. I'm ashamed of the people of Dundee."
Joy Gansh, a black activist and protest organiser, said: "It is a shock, but honestly I'm not really that shocked.
"I knew this was going to happen, I just didn't think it would be so soon.
"It's a slap in the face that they've decided to counter BLM with this vandalism."
Mr Floyd's death, which autopsies have shown was caused by a police officer kneeling on his neck for close to nine minutes, has provoked outrage in the USA and across the rest of the world.
The artist hoped that his work would show solidarity with those protesting, while shining a light on the existence of racism in Dundee.
Council leader John Alexander and his Conservative colleague for the Ferry, Philip Scott, are among those who have commented on the issue.
Police Scotland has been approached for comment.
