Church leaders have said they are to investigate a priest who admitted buying bondage items on the internet.

The Reverend Kenny Macaulay, of St Augustine's Episcopal church in Dumbarton, confessed he had already "raised a few eyebrows" in the community.

He told the Daily Record newspaper he had bought several items from the eBay website, including bondage gear.

A spokesman for the Scottish Episcopal Church said: "The Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway is presently on holiday, but he will obviously be fully briefed on his return and it will be for him to decide what action to take from there.

"Any kind of allegations are taken seriously and will be looked into."
