Actor Keith Fleming took cocaine into music festival

Actor Keith Fleming took cocaine into music festival: "One of Scotland's leading actors has admitted smuggling cocaine into the T in the Park music festival last year.

Black Watch star Keith Fleming admitted buying a gram of the Class A drug from a stranger in an Edinburgh pub.

The 38-year-old actor was caught by a sniffer dog at the festival with the cocaine hidden inside a plastic bullet.

Fleming, from Glasgow, was fined £135 by Perth Sheriff Court. He could also be banned from giving acting workshops to children.

The court heard the government-backed Black Watch production had become a positive international advert for Scotland and that Fleming had shamed the nation.

Solicitor Marco Guarino, defending, said his client was 'one of Scotland's finest actors'."
