Two people have been accused of endangering the life of a woman by stamping on her head several times during an attack.
Kerry Ann Bott, 40, and Ian McDougall, 41, are alleged to have left the woman scarred for life.
They are said to have assaulted the woman on Dunkeld Street, Aberfeldy, by repeatedly punching her on the head and body on July 22 2018.
It is alleged the duo knocked her to the ground, pulled her by the hair, and repeatedly kicked her head and body before repeatedly stamping on her head to her severe injury, permanent impairment, permanent disfigurement, and to the danger of her life.

Human bones discovered at Kibish in Ethiopia are the oldest known bones of a Homo Sapiens. The bones, which were first found in 1967, were initially believed to be 130,000 years old. But a re-analysis of the mineral deposits and volcanic debris surrounding the bones in 2005 by Frank Brown (of the University of Utah s College of Mines and Earth Sciences), Ian McDougall (of the Australian National University in Canberra) and John Fleagle (of New York state s Stony Brook University) pushed their age back to 195,000 years.
The previously identified oldest bones, discovered in Herto, Ethiopia, were dated to 160,000 years ago. The Kibish bones not only rob them of this record, but also effectively push back the emergence of anatomically modern man by some 35,000 years.
