Vandals have caused nearly £860,000 worth of damage to schools across Scotland in just one year.
Shock new figures reveal Aberdeen had the highest repairs bill in the country for 2015/16, of more than £150,000.
Taxpayers have footed the bill for incidents such as broken windows, damage to toilets and graffiti.
In Moray, the bill was £19,359, while in Shetland it was £1,752, according to the figures obtained by the Scottish Conservatives.
Orkney schools in contrast suffered just £170 worth of damage over the financial year, but Aberdeenshire had a repairs bill of £54,971.
A November attack on Markethill Primary School in Turriff, which was estimated to have caused around £20,000 worth of damage, is not included in the figures.
But the figures will include a blaze at Aberdeen’s Harlaw Academy at the end of last year, which local authority chiefs estimated would cost six figures to repair.
Highland Council was not able to provide figures.
In Aberdeen, the total cost was £155,122 – up from £143,000 for 2014/15, when it was also second highest in the country.
The total cost of vandalism to schools across the country was £859,011 – the highest in the last three years, although down from a peak of £1,130,762 in 2011/12.
Scottish Conservative shadow education secretary Liz Smith said she was deeply concerned by the figures.
“It’s very worrying that vandals continue to regard schools as fair game,” she said.
“Our councils are hard-pressed enough without having to fork out for needless repairs like this.
“People ought to remember that these are supposed to be safe environments for children to learn and teachers to operate.
“That cannot be the case when they arrive in the morning to find damage to their space.
“Anyone caught vandalising schools should be dealt with firmly to ensure similar behaviour is not repeated in future.”
The Freedom of Information response to the Scottish Conservatives contains the cost of damage caused either by pupils or others outwith school hours.
