Anthony Harvey appeared in private at Oban Sheriff Court on Wednesday.

The 59-year-old, whose general address was given as London, faced a charge under Section 12 (3) of the Terrorism Act, which concerns the offence of addressing a private meeting to encourage support for a proscribed organisation.
