A UNIVERSITY student has admitted a drug dealing charge at Selkirk Sheriff Court.
Police officers who raided Callum Lothian's home in Glensax Road, Peebles, on April 10 recovered 58.7 grammes of cannabis valued at £1100 and £710 in cash.
Defence lawyer Ross Dow said the 19 year old was ordinarily of good character and had a lot to contribute to society.
He explained that Lothian had gone to university and got involved with drugs "to make himself more popular".
Mr Dow said: "It was all very short-lived. "He had only bought the drugs in bulk two weeks previous. "He has never been in trouble before and regrets all of this."
Sentence was deferred until September 9.
