A sheriff has given a young offender who watched his girlfriend plunge to her death a chance to cut out a new life for himself.
Dominic Long was appearing for sentence at Wick Sheriff Court on Thursday for possession of a designer drug and a breach of an overnight house curfew.
Sentence had previously been repeatedly deferred after the court heard the 27-year-old was suffering from trauma in the wake of the tragedy in the summer of last year.
