A man is to stand trial accused of causing the death of a teenager at an oil company.

Dean Reynolds, 23, is accused of culpable homicide at the premises of Denholm MacNamee Ltd in Aberdeenshire.

It is alleged he caused a machine to rotate while 17-year-old Michael McLean was inside its drum on August 14, 2015.

The teenager sustained severe injuries and died at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary six days later .

Defence counsel Ian Duguid entered not guilty pleas on behalf of Reynolds at the High Court in Glasgow on Tuesday.

Reynolds, from Keith, Moray, faces an alternative charge of breaching Health and Safety as an employee at the firm in Inverurie.

He also faces a second charge of attempting to pervert the ends of justice by discarding two pairs of work boots belonging to him between August 14 and 17, 2015.

Lord Mulholland set a trial for May and continued Reynolds' bail.
