A Scots TikTok star is accused of recording threatening footage of a Post Office on social media.

Leigh Sutherland, 28, allegedly committed the offence at Kirkintilloch Post Office, East Dunbartonshire, on June 9 last year.

Court papers state Sutherland behaved in a threatening or abusive manner which was likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm.

The charge claims Sutherland broadcasted footage on a social media platform which was of a threatening or alarming nature.


Sutherland, of Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, faces a separate charge of using a quantity of firework rockets during night hours on October 27, 2020.


The alleged offence is stated to have taken place at Crow Road, Lennoxtown, East Dunbartonshire.

A further charge says Sutherland culpably and recklessly set fire to a bin at the same time and place.

Sutherland appeared in the dock today at Glasgow Sheriff Court where he pleaded not guilty to the three charges.

Prosecutor Hazel Kerr said: "There is a Crown motion to adjourn today's diet of trial as a police witness is on a training course and is not in a position to attend.

"It is a two-day course and won't be available later today.

"This is the second trial diet - the first called in May and there was a failure to appear warrant for Mr Sutherland."

A new trial was fixed for January by Sheriff David Taylor.

Sutherland had his bail continued meantime.
