A farm worker has been fined £1000 after hurling sectarian and homophobic abuse at police during an Edinburgh city centre incident.
Thomas Fairbairn told police that he was attacked during a night out, but when informed that they were dealing with another incident, he turned and went on the abusive foul-mouthed rant.
The Daily Record report how Fairbairn, from the Scottish Borders, was arrested for calling officers "f*****n b*****ds" and "gay c***s."
