A visitor to the pilgrimage trail at Luss has called on the church to remove a picture of disgraced Cardinal Keith O'Brien from site.

The picture of the cardinal is included on a plaque beside a tree which he planted during a visit in 2010.

However, a Roman Catholic visitor to the glebe has emailed Rev Dane Sherrard calling for the image to be removed as they found it "disturbing".

The email, included in Mr Sherrard's daily blog, says: "I came across the peaceful and delightful pilgrimage centre and found it thought provoking and helpful. I was however taken aback by the picture of Keith O'Brien - I found it disturbing to see his image here and that it impacted on my thoughts and feelings in a negative way.

"I think it time that image was removed, especially in light of further revelations in today's press and his admission of terrible hypocrisy. As a Catholic I find this increasingly disturbing."
