Inverness evangelist cleared of making offensive remarks

A well-known evangelist was cleared of behaving in an abusive manner as he tried to spread the gospel in Inverness city centre.

Kenneth Macdonald (65), of Lochiel Road, was accused of making offensive remarks to stallholders and passers by and warning them that they would "burn in hell" if they did not turn to God.

But Sheriff Ian Abercrombie upheld a plea by Macdonald's solicitor Marc Dickson that his client had no case to answer and acquitted Macdonald.
