PC Kris Harvey, from Police Scotland, said: "While the estimated cash value of the painting is relatively low, it has a significant spiritual value to those who worship at the Cathedral, and we are appealing for any information that can lead to its return." Anyone with information about the theft or whereabouts of the painting should contact Police Scotland on 101, or make an anonymous report through Crimestoppers.
