A Lewis teenager who embarked on vandalism sprees faces forking out over £1000 compensation for the damage he caused.
Scott Montgomery, 19, admitted six charges involving smashing windows and damaging cars when he appeared at Stornoway Sheriff Court.
He also pleaded guilty to possessing a small amount of cannabis said to be worth around £8.50.
Sheriff David Sutherland gave the youth of 36 Manor Drive, Stornoway, six months to pay for the damage.
Solicitor Angus Macdonald said a nightly 9pm to 6am curfew imposed by the sheriff would prevent the keen footballer playing for his team.
He suggested commencing the curfew at the later time of 10.30pm instead.

Sheriff Sutherland declined the request but said the football team could write to the court if they could assure they would deliver Montgomery home by that time on specified fixture dates.
Montgomery admitted damaging a window at the Greenkeeper’s Cottage in the Lews Castle Grounds and pulling a wing mirror off a car at Bayhead on Friday 11 September.
The following weekend he damaged a vehicle on Francis Street and another on Lewis Street.
Then in October he damaged a door at the Woodlands Centre in the Lews Castle Grounds.
He kicked and damaged a window in the local SNP’s offices in Stornoway in December.
