Naked rambler Stephen Gough was arrested 'near playpark'
Published: 23rd Jul 2012 15:26:58
The man known as the naked rambler was detained near a children's playpark when he was arrested last week, it has been claimed.
Stephen Gough, 53, is expected to face breach of the peace charges later at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court in Fife.
It is understood he was naked when he was arrested on Friday, just days after being released from prison for refusing to wear clothes.
It is alleged he refused to put clothes on or move away from the playpark.
Mr Gough had spent more than six years in jail after being repeatedly re-arrested outside the prison gates when he refused to wear clothes.
The former marine, from Eastleigh in Hampshire, first earned the nickname the "naked rambler" by walking unclothed from Land's End to John O'Groats in 2003, after quitting his job as a lorry driver.
