Detailing the quarrel, procurator fiscal depute Robbie McDougall said: “The accused has found a letter from the witness’ ex-partner’s name on it which caused an argument.
“During this, the accused has begun storming around the locus in an aggressive manner and caused the witness to call the police.
“There was a reply made to the Section 38 charge. He said, ‘If I get done with breach of the peace, she should get done with a breach of the peace too.”

Ms Swann replied: “There’s no contact with the complainer at all and she’s currently subject to special conditions not to contact him due to the matter she’s facing trial for later this year.
“He has deleted all forms of contact with her in terms of social media.
“It boils down to an argument that had escalated and discussion of her previous partner and he found himself getting jealous.
