Three people have appeared in court accused of murdering an oil worker found dead at a Scots beauty spot.

Tasmin Glass, 19, Callum Davidson, 23, and Steven Dickie, also 23, appeared at Forfar Sheriff Court today over the death of Steven Donaldson at the Kinnordy Nature Reserve in Kirriemuir, Angus.

He was found dead around at the beauty spot's car park around 5am on Thursday June 7.

Today all three appeared in private on petition accused of the 27-year-old's murder.

Davidson and Dickie also faced three charges of breach of the peace while Davidson faced an additional charge of assault.

The case was heard amid tight security at the Angus court - with additional police officers drafted in after the alleged murder raised tensions in Kirriemuir and Arbroath.

All three made no plea to the charges during brief separate hearings.

Sheriff Jillian Martin-Brown continued their cases for further examination and remanded all three in custody meantime.

They are expected to appear in court again next week.
