Hide AdMurray Aitken, defence solicitor, said: “He accepts his attendance at unpaid work wasn’t perfect.”
The explanation given was correspondence from social work had been sent to the wrong address.
Sheriff Alison Michie made no further order and allowed Scobbie’s community payback order to continue. She fixed a review for June 22 to ensure he was fully complying.
