The trial of a man accused of abducting a woman from Inverness will resume today.
George McPhee, of 2 North Murchison Street, Wick, denies that he abducted Nicole Calder, detained her in a locked car and told her she would be taken to Wick, all against her will, on January 18 last year.
The offences are alleged to have happened in various Inverness streets and on the A9 between Inverness and Tain, while he was acting with another person.
McPhee also denies assaulting the same woman by chasing after her, seizing her by the arms and struggling with her at Scotsburn junction.
The trial was adjourned on Friday afternoon and will continue in front of Sheriff Jamie Gilchrist at Inverness Sheriff Court.
