A GALASHIELS man will be sentenced at Selkirk Sheriff Court in the new year for a stalking offence.
Paul Gallagher pleaded guilty to engaging in a course of conduct likely to cause his former partner fear and alarm.
The 32-year-old repeatedly contacted the woman when he knew she did not wish him to, and waited outside her Galashiels home.
He also observed her movements as well as entered her house without permission.
The offence happened on several occasions between April 1 and May 14.
Background reports have been ordered on Gallagher of Scott Street for the sentencing date of January 3.
