He was also accused of lewd, indecent and libidinous practices with a second girl on various occasions when she was aged between four and nine.

Following a three-day trial, Hay was found guilty by a jury, however.

He was jailed for 10 months on one charge and another five months for the other.

Sheriff Peter Paterson also put Hay’s name on the sex offenders’ register for 10 years.
