Pensioner repeatedly abused young girl in Highland village
William Mackay, 70, carried out the sex offences over eight years between 1986 and 1994.
A pensioner repeatedly attacked a young girl during a catalogue of abuse over eight years.
William Mackay carried out the sex offences in a Highland village when the girl was seven.
At the High Court in Edinburgh on Tuesday, the 70-year-old was found guilty of three offences of historical abuse committed between 1986 and 1994.
A jury acquitted him of three further charges, which included allegations of rape at a house in Inverness-shire.
Judge Graeme Buchanan QC told the pensioner he would be remanded in custody while a background report was prepared on him ahead of sentencing in January.
The judge told jurors it had been a "somewhat unpleasant case".
He placed Mackay on the sex offenders register.
