One of the founding members of the 1970s pop band the Bay City Rollers has admitted possessing child porn.
Derek Longmuir appeared before Sheriff Isobel Poole at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday.
Longmuir, who lives in Edinburgh, refused to comment as he left court.
He told the court that although the material was in his possession, it did not belong to him.
Material 'belonged to friend'
Longmuir said it actually belonged to an American friend and that he had no interest in it.
Sentence has been deferred for three weeks for background reports.
He admitted two charges of possession and one of making indecent material. Two charges of possessing cannabis and cannabis resin were dropped when his not guilty plea was accepted.

 Longmuir arrives at Edinburgh Sheriff Court

The Edinburgh Royal Infirmary nurse had initially been charged with child pornography and drugs charges and had appeared in court in August last year.
Outside court Sergeant Alan Eadie, who interviewed Longmuir said when asked what the porn pictures showed: "They were paedophile images, that is the broadest way I can describe it.
He said it was regarded as a "stand alone" inquiry and was not linked to a ring of crime.
Computers examined
Police seized more than 150 videos and six projector reels along with 73 floppy disks.
More than 1000 images were retrieved and from that 117 contained sexual activity involving children.
Two computers were examined and when police went into the deleted file they found more than 6,000 images, many containing images of children.
