Naked Rambler to undergo psychiatric tests
THE Naked Rambler is set to be checked out by psychiatrists after picking up his 12th straight conviction for breach of the peace.
Stephen Gough took just five steps outside the police station holding him before being re-arrested last month. The 48-year-old was completely naked when police picked him up.
Yesterday, he was found guilty of breach of the peace at Edinburgh Sheriff Court and ordered to undergo psychiatric assessment.
Sheriff Kenneth McIver said: "It may be he should be in hospital not a prison.
His solicitor has revealed Gough was assessed by mental health professionals last month who reported 'no concerns of any significance'.
