(263)  NAKED RAMBLER: WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE ANY MORE

The pre-trial hearing in the case of the Naked Rambler, Steve Gough (see No 247), was held on 18 September 2003, not in Dingwall Sheriff Court, but in a police cell below, where Gough had refused to don clothes or a police blanket before appearing in the dock.  Gough pleaded Not Guilty to a charge of breach of the peace, and was remanded in custody; trial was confirmed for 3 October.  Asked about bail, Gough replied, I would just like to see the sunshine.”
