A valuable marble bust that was bought for just £5 and used as a doorstop in a Highland village is at risk of being sold abroad. The sculpture of Sir John Gordon, was discovered propping open a door on an industrial estate in Balintore, Easter Ross, before ending up in the care of Highland council. The local authority has confirmed that the artwork, valued at more than £2.5 million, is the subject of an export licence application.

All four were remanded by Lord Arthurson pending sentencing next month. Two of the assailants had been subject to a combined total of 20 bail orders at time and also on night-time curfews. The four had been part of a mob causing bother and annoying passengers on a train shortly before the attack. They got off at Blantyre at about 9pm, roughly when Rochford drove into the station.
