A BORDERS man appeared from custody at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday and pleaded guilty to two assaults.

They took place over the New Year period and one of the assaults was domestic-related.

Thirty-five-year-old Blake Storrie, of Gordon, had a not guilty plea to a charge of failing to comply with an undertaking accepted by the Crown.

Sentence was deferred for the production of background reports until February 14 at Jedburgh Sheriff Court and Storrie was released on bail.
