A £500,000 fund will help places of worship to take security measures against hate crime.
Faith communities can apply for grants from the Hate Crime Security Fund, developed by the Scottish Government in partnership with Police Scotland.
Social Justice Secretary Shona Robison said:
“The Hate Crime Security Fund will help ensure faith communities in Scotland most vulnerable to hate crime are supported to worship in safety.
“Scotland is an inclusive and tolerant nation, but our society is not immune from the threat of prejudice and hate.
“Places of worship should be places of peace and sanctuary and our faith communities should feel safe and secure when they visit them.”
