“They had been drinking in the bedroom and had had a minor altercation. The accused asked the complainer to leave and he refused to do so.”
The court heard the complainer had burned the accused’s elbow with a lighter and had thrown a speaker at her head which then provoked her into picking up an empty glass bottle and striking him on the head, causing a small laceration on his hairline.
The Procurator Fiscal Depute said the complainer sustained a one inch cut to the hairline which did not require treatment.

"Ms Duncan has taken steps to ensure she does not go back to where she was before when she had difficulties with alcohol and drugs. She has been getting help for her mental health and has stopped drinking.”
Sheriff Gilchrist placed her under supervision for two years and ordered her to undergo drug and alcohol treatment.
