A woman who admitted conducting herself in a threatening manner towards a man in a Wester Ross village has been admonished.
A shop worker was struck on the head with a blade by a Ross-shire man who will be sentenced next week.
Sheriff Ian Cruickshank heard details of the tragic case and told the court how he will deal with sentencing.
He faced two charges of assaulting officers, one to injury and impairment and another of threatening or abusive behaviour.
The 19-year-old targeted the Esso Kessock garage then made a getaway in a stolen motor.
The killer who was sentenced to serve at least 28 years behind bars will also appeal the severity of that sentence.
A brutal killer was jailed for life after murdering his brother-in-law during a crime spree that brought carnage to rural communities.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard the 61-year-old man maintained he was innocent of any wrongdoing.
‘He was born with it and from his childhood he has had no practical assistance whatsoever,’ said the defence counsel.
Police suspected a 28-year-old Ross-shire driver was under the influence of drugs after they pulled over his vehicle for a routine check.
He ran off after the collision, but he left his passenger who told the police who he was.
"He had a deep-rooted resentment against two men. He began to take steps to prepare for a violent attack”, the prosecutor told a jury.
CCTV filmed a 26-year-old man throwing a tyre wrench towards a car which was parked in a driveway in Strathpeffer.
A murder accused had ‘a focused plan’ to target specific individuals who he believed were the cause of his difficulties, a court heard today.
MacDonald has pleaded not guilty to the charges and lodged a special defence to the murder charge.
He made no plea, was committed for further examination and remanded in custody.
The court heard the 57-year-old had a similar conviction before.
A neighbour dispute boiled over when two Ross-shire sisters tried to ‘put matters right’ by approaching the couple next door.
