Officers found nearly £5000 worth of the Class A drug at the address, Hamilton Sheriff Court heard this week.

There was plenty of water to be seen as Claremont Rambling Club visited New Lanark and the Falls of Clyde on Sunday, January 28.

Fortunatel­y all of the water was rushing down the linns and not falling from the skies.

The usual good luck with the weather gave the walkers a mild, dry and slightly breezy day, with no rain until the club bus was on the road back home.

On the day, the hardiest members and visitors opted for a challengin­g nine-mile walk starting at Crossford and following the riverbank up and down hilly stretches, through muddy patches and over the odd fallen tree, ending up at New Lanark.

The cocaine weighed 120g in total and was worth up to £4800.

Defence agent Andy Thomson said his client has been on bail since an initial court appearance and there has been no further offending.

Sheriff Colin Dunipace deferred sentence on Miller, now of Warwick, East Kilbride, until March for background reports. spectacula­r scenery.
