A Linnvale has been put on the sex offenders register for 30 months for taking photos of children.

Gideon Currie, 20, of Kirkwood Avenue, had previously admitted taking or permitting to be taken or making an indecent photograph or pseudo-photograph of two children on November 12 last year at his home.

At his sentencing on Tuesday at Dumbarton Sheriff Court, Sheriff William Gallacher sentenced Currie to a community payback order.

It will include 30 months of supervision and 100 hours of unpaid work in the community within the next six months and his listing on the register for sex offenders.
