A 58-year-old man has appeared in court charged in connection with a fire that gutted a property in Perth and Kinross.

Fire crews were called to the blaze in Errol at 03:49 on Monday and used a high-reach vehicle to tackle the fire.

Michael Craig from Perth faces a single charge of culpable and reckless conduct.

He made no plea during a hearing in private at Perth Sheriff Court and was granted bail. The case was continued for further examination.
