Between Tuesday 23rd and Thursday 25th June 2009 vandals got into the Church hall garden and destroyed the wooden gazebo along with the wooden windbreak. They then attempted to set fire to the wood in the decorative lamp standard, which was recovered from a previous refurbishment of St. Mungos.

Betty and Jim Macmillan, who look after all the gardens and flower displays around the Church and Hall, had been working in the garden on Tuesday 23rd. When they returned on Thursday 25th they were confronted with the damage. Previously the garden was overlooked by most of the flats in Imrie Place, but the building of the new supermarket has interrupted their view.

They also unsuccessfully tried to break into the Church Hall boiler house, leaving a rather fine footprint on the boiler house door.

The police have been informed, and debris left by the vandals was found on site.
