A KELSO man has been ordered to stay in his Rennie Court home between the hours of 7pm and 7am for the next six months after admitting a drug dealing offence.

Fifty-one-year-old Patrick Ennis pleaded guilty at Jedburgh Sheriff Court to the offence which happened in September 2022.

Sheriff Peter Paterson said there was an unusual set of circumstances relating to the case but added the sentence was an alternative to custody.
