Two men who attacked a couple as they returned home on Christmas Eve have been jailed for a total of more than 12 years.
Thomas Raitt was slashed in the face after he went to the aid of his wife, who had fought to hold on to her handbag during a street robbery.
The couple had been for a drink after shopping in Aberdeen city centre for Christmas presents before setting off to walk home.
