A masked 'knight' wearing a homemade suit of armour who was spotted brandishing a knife at a popular tourist spot has been jailed.
Robert Soutar had fashioned body armour out of old metal plates, lids, books and a chopping board before heading to Dundee Law at midnight.But his armour failed to protect him from police dog Rocky who flushed him out hiding in the undergrowth and sank his teeth into him.
