Andrew Gunn, George Stewart and William Williamson are alleged to have “behaved in a threatening and abusive manner” towards the two 15-year-olds during a bus journey between Anstruther and Leven on April 24 last year.

It is alleged they shouted, swore and made “inappropriate sexual comments” towards the girls, both then aged 15, on the bus.

Williamson (29), of Lochside Cottages, Falkirk, Gunn (38), of Leven Road, Windygates, Fife and Stewart (32), of Perth denied a charge of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner on summary complaint at Dundee Sheriff Court.

Sheriff Richard McFarlane set a trial date in June and ordered the trio to appear at a pre-trial hearing in May.
