A PEEBLES man and his son appeared in private at Jedburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday accused of assaulting a male to his severe injury.

Elliot Murray, who is 55, and his 27-year-old son who is also called Elliot, made no plea or declaration and the case was continued for further examination.

It follows an incident in Peebles on Monday.

They were both granted bail by Sheriff Peter Paterson and the date of their next court appearance has yet to be confirmed.
