Naked rambler Stephen Gough denies park nudity charge | |
(40 minutes later) | |
Stephen Gough, the man known as the naked rambler, has denied charges concerning nudity close to a play park. | |
Mr Gough, 53, is alleged to have walked naked in a public park close to a children's play park in the village of Townhill, near Dunfermline. | |
Prosecutors said he refused to put on clothing or move away and committed a breach of the peace on 20 July. | |
Representing himself at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court, Mr Gough replied "not guilty" to the charge. | |
The former Royal Marine was making a brief appearance in court on Monday afternoon. | |
Mr Gough chose to represent himself, having turned down the services of duty solicitor Robert Macdonald. | |
He was naked during the court appearance. | |
Sheriff Mungo Bovey QC set a trial date for 23 August. Mr Gough did not ask for bail. |
