Hide AdSheriff Alison Michie, who presided at the trial, was assured there would be no further contact between Burnett and his ex.
She said: “I accept your young age of 24 and you have no record of previous offending. However, one of the incidents saw you push your partner, causing her to strike her head.”
She placed Burnett on a community payback order with the condition he completes 150 hours of unpaid work within 12 months.
