A man who had “issues” with religion started fires at two places of worship within minutes of each other.
Paul Johnson was arrested for the fires at a Methodist church and a Sikh temple in Edinburgh in August this year.
He told police he had wanted to watch them burn down and make “a political statement”.
The 49-year-old admitted two charges of wilful fire raising aggravated by religious prejudice at the High Court in Edinburgh.
