Fraser Garden, a driver with 90 previous convictions and two lifetime driving bans, admitted causing the death of 74-year-old John Bell by dangerous driving in Broughty Ferry. Garden stole a Maserati Quattroporte, drove at up to 85mph in a 30mph zone while under the influence of cocaine, and crashed through a hedge into Bell’s garden. Bell died at the scene. The High Court in Edinburgh described Garden’s actions as “truly appalling” and deferred sentencing until 21 August.

More than 100 rare David Bowie items, including costumes, instruments and personal artefacts, will feature in a new touring exhibition opening at V&A Dundee on 4 November before travelling to several UK cities. The show is divided into four sections exploring his image, musical eras, screen work and creative legacy. Highlights include the Ashes to Ashes clown costume, a Grafton Alto saxophone, a storyboard sketch and Bowie's 1988 passport. V&A Dundee’s director described strong local interest in celebrating Bowie’s cultural impact, with further tour venues to be announced.
