A man has gone on trial accused of raping a toddler at an Inverness-shire nursery.

Maclennan, from Bath, has also denied sexual abusing a young girl and boy at the nursery.
In other charges he has been accused of sexually assaulting a girl in Stirling, Dunblane and Dunfermline.
It has been alleged that she was assaulted on various occasions from the ages of 12 to 15 between October 2007 and July 2010.
