A man who was injured in the grounds of a stately home after taking his grandson on a bat walk told a nurse he had been stupid to have taken the route he did, a court heard.
John Cowan told the nurse he had been wanting to get the child home because he was tired, it was claimed.
Mr Cowan, 65, a former water quality manager, suffered a fractured ankle and underwent a series of operations following the incident at Hopetoun House, on the outskirts of Edinburgh, on September 5, 2008.
