Appearing at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday, Alexander Dalrymple had pleaded guilty to breaching his bail conditions not to contact his former partner at the Tam Bain, Mary Street, Laurieston between 11 November and 12 November last year.

Procurator fiscal depute Rachel Hill said: “It was 11.15pm and the complainer left her place of work and met the accused by prior arrangement. They both went to a public house in Falkirk and were there until the early hours.”
