Marc McKinnlay appeared in private at Edinburgh Sheriff Court charged with two offences.

McKinnlay is facing a charge of assault to severe injury, permanent disfigurement, danger to life and attempted murder.

He is also charged with a separate offence of assault to injury.

The 35-year-old made no plea and the case was continued for further examination.
