The 32-year-old father-of-four admitted a single charge of domestic abuse, between 2019 and 2024.

Sentencing had been deferred in December for clarification over whether a community order with remotely monitored supervision could be imposed.

Hogg appeared at Selkirk Sheriff Court on Thursday morning where he was given a community payback order with one year’s supervision and a five-year non-harassment order against his wife.

It comes after he admitted he “did engage in a course of behaviour which was abusive of your ex-partner, Gillian Hogg” and that he “did shout and swear in an aggressive manner, track her movements (and) send her messages which were alarming and distressing in nature”.
