A Scots teacher has admitted drinking "an excessive amount of alcohol" on the night she allegedly kissed and groped a pupil.
Ashley McConnell said she visited several bars and was ordering two drinks at a time as well as shots during a night out in Thurso, Caithness, with friends in March 2018.
The physics teacher, who taught at Thurso High School, then went to a local nightclub, Skinandi's, where she is alleged to have danced in a sexualised manner with a pupil.
