A family has slammed Glasgow City Council for "disrespecting" the graves of loved ones.

Colin and Mark McMillan, 29, say they were shocked to find the family plot where their grandad and uncle were buried damaged on two separate occasions.

The twins, from Drumchapel, regularly visit the plots in Lambhill Cemetery of their grandad William McMillan and uncle William Robertson with other family members.

However, last week they were angry to find tractor marks around the headstone. It is the second time they have been left disappointed in the way the cemetery is looked after.

About four months ago they were distraught to find the grass around the grave completely discoloured, which they believed had been done by weedkiller

After they complained to the council bosses eventually re-turfed the area around the grave.

Last week, when the brothers found the latest damage, they again complained to the council.

Colin said: "We went to visit the grave last Wednesday and could not believe there was more damage.

"There were tractor marks and the stone was all chipped on one side.

"They did it before with the weed killer and now they are still being careless.

"It looks like a tractor has just went right over the plot. Further up the cemetery a gravestone has been knocked down."

Mark added: "We feel the council is disrespecting our family graves."

A council spokesman said: "When maintenance is carried out in winter months it is unavoidable that vehicles will leave tracks in wet ground.

"There is no suggestion this has had an impact on any graves."
