Defence agent Mrs McMillan explained the incident was a result of a “family dispute.”
She explained: “Mr McKim was at a family party and when he left he came across the witnesses who are his cousin, his father and a friend.
“The friend of his cousin is Mr Woods.
“There was an exchange of words and in the heat of the moment after consuming alcohol the incident took place.
“He accepts full responsibility and is extremely sorry.
“The family members involved attended at his property the next day to instigate more problems but Jamie McKim closed the door and stated he wanted nothing to do with them.”
Sheriff Gillian Craig said: “I understand it was a family matter that’s spilled over which is unfortunate.”
Sheriff Craig imposed an £800 compensation order reduced to £600 for McKim’s early plea.
McKim was also ordered to pay a £40 victim surcharge.
