A drink driver has been fined £1000 after being caught with nearly eight times the new legal alcohol limit.

George Morrison of 46 North Shawbost, Lewis, was also banned from driving for two years when his case called at Stornoway Sheriff Court today.

The 36-year-old had 385 mg of alcohol in his bloodstream compared to the permitted maximum of 50mg.

The offence occurred on the main road in Shawbost on 19 January.

His fine would have been £1500 but sheriff David Sutherland gave him a discount for his early guilty plea.
