The words “RANA” and “KURD” were spray-painted on a rock lining Marine Drive just past the Toll House.

Accompanied by Arabic script, the message is not thought to be offensive or overtly political.

Although Kurdish graffiti seen in the UK often references struggles for a homeland by the world’s largest stateless nation, the Great Orme vandalism may just be a name tag.

Even so, it was labelled “disgraceful” online.

Conwy Council has said the defaced rock will be cleaned up. A spokesperson said: “Graffiti is illegal and will be removed. This vandalism costs public money to clean it up.”
