A man accused of robbing a wheelchair-bound woman and cutting off her hand had his case continued.
Stephen Brisbane, 33, continued to make no plea to the charges at the High Court in Glasgow.
It is alleged he entered the home of Sandra McGowan on South Road on February 14 before stealing a number of items including a mobile phone and door fob.
He is then alleged to have assaulted the 62-year-old causing her to fall from her wheelchair.
