Dawkins, 18, pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cannabis, although defence lawyer Ross Dow insisted he had only been selling the drug to friends.

Sheriff Raymond McMenamin ordered Dawkins to carry out 125 hours’ unpaid work and placed him under supervision for 12 months as an alternative to custody.
