Life's a beach for nude 'eccentric'

A MAN who admitted strolling naked along a Scottish beach in September sunshine with a bag containing "male sex toys" walked free from court yesterday after a sheriff branded him eccentric, but not a criminal.

Derek Holliday, 58, was arrested after a holidaymaker reported seeing a naked man near Shell Bay Caravan Park in Fife, while she was out walking her dog.

Sheriff Charlie Macnair said he was not satisfied that any crime had been committed, and

Holliday's explanation for possessing a bag of sex toys on the beach, he said, "might be eccentric but is probably not criminal".
