David Cameron's former communications chief Andy Coulson will appear in court in Scotland next month.

The 46-year-old was yesterday served with an indictment to face proceedings at the High Court in Glasgow on 6 August, the Crown Office confirmed.

Former News of the World editor Coulson was charged with perjury by police in 2012 after being questioned in connection to his evidence at the 2010 Tommy Sheridan perjury trial.
